Sea-level-driven land conversion amplified by coastal agriculture (opens in new tab)  4 articles covering this post

Sea-level rise (SLR) and saltwater intrusion are driving large-scale ecosystem retreat along economically valuable coasts. However, it remains unclear how human interventions influence climate-driven processes, especially in rural areas. Sea-level-driven land use change is typically modelled as a binary response, where human-dominated uplands convert to wetlands instantaneously or else are protected indefinitely. Here we use 38 years of satellite observations across the mid-Atlantic SLR hotsp...
