Variations in Persistence and Regenerative Zones in Coastal Forests Triggered by Sea Level Rise and Storms

Variations in Persistence and Regenerative Zones in Coastal Forests Triggered by Sea Level Rise and Storms

Retreat of coastal forests in relation to sea level rise has been widely documented. Recent work indicates that coastal forests on the Delmarva Peninsula, United States, can be differentiated into persistence and regenerative zones as a function of sea-level rise and storm events. In the lower persi...
