Detailed Description

Low-elevation, generalist, and high-elevation mangrove forest examples from Pohnpei, Micronesia.

The USGS and partners are studying how mangrove forests in the Federated States of Micronesia may respond to sea-level rise over the coming century. Their projections will help Micronesian communities plan for the future.
