Conservation implications of ecological responses to extreme weather and climate events
Aim Many conservation efforts now focus on mitigating biodiversity loss due to climate
change. While a focus on impacts from mean, long‐term changes in climate is warranted …

Best practices for elevation-based assessments of sea-level rise and coastal flooding exposure
DB Gesch - Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Elevation data are critical for assessments of sea-level rise (SLR) and coastal flooding
exposure. Previous research has demonstrated that the quality of data used in elevation …

Conservation planners tend to ignore improved accuracy of modelled species distributions to focus on multiple threats and ecological processes
Limited conservation resources mean that management decisions are often made on the
basis of scarce biological information. Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly …

Coastal retreat and improved water quality mitigate losses of seagrass from sea level rise
The distribution and abundance of seagrass ecosystems could change significantly over the
coming century due to sea level rise (SLR). Coastal managers require mechanistic …
