Observations of woody plant mortality in coastal ecosystems are globally widespread, but
the overarching processes and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This …

Increasing seawater exposure is killing coastal trees globally, with expectations of
accelerating mortality with rising sea levels. However, the impact of concomitant changes in …

Summary Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSCs), as the labile fraction and dominant carbon
currency, are essential mediators of plant adaptation to environments. However, whether …

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a key biogeochemical control in coastal systems, and its
concentration and drivers vary markedly through time and space. This makes it difficult to …

Global climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of drought and salt stress
worldwide, with profound impacts on tree growth and survival. However, the response of …

Relative sea level rise (SLR) increasingly impacts coastal ecosystems through the formation
of ghost forests. To predict the future of coastal ecosystems under SLR and changing …

Sea-level rise is one of the most critical challenges facing coastal ecosystems under climate
change. Observations of elevated tree mortality in global coastal forests are increasing, but …

Leaf respiration in the dark (R dark) and light (R day) is poorly characterized in diverse
tropical ecosystems, and little to no information exists on the degree of light suppression in …

Increasing seawater exposure is causing mortality of coastal forests, yet the physiological
response associated with seawater-induced tree mortality, particularly in non-halophytes, is …

Introduction Coastal forests occupy low-lying elevations, typically adjacent to tidal salt
marshes. Exposed to increased flooding with sea level rise, coastal forests have retreated as …
