Modeling mangrove forest migration along the southwest coast of Florida under climate change Modeling mangrove forest migration along the southwest coast of Florida under climate change
Mangrove forests dominate in the intertidal zones of the tropical extent of the coast about the Gulf of Mexico, USA. Global climate change forecasts suggest that these coastal forests will be among those ecosystems most immediately threatened by projected increases in sea level and hurricanes. The interactive effects of environmental conditions that prevail in these forests and the...

Predicting coastal retreat in the Florida Big Bend region of the Gulf Coast under climate change induced sea-level rise Predicting coastal retreat in the Florida Big Bend region of the Gulf Coast under climate change induced sea-level rise
Many wildlife preserves and refuges in coastal areas of our nation are slowly being inundated by rising sea-level. Land elevation and tidal flooding are key factors controlling the extent and zonation of coastal habitats. Warming of our global environment threatens to speed the rate of sea-level rise and perhaps further amplify the detrimental effects of tropical storms, droughts, and...
