Bird community shifts associated with saltwater exposure in coastal forests at the leading edge of rising sea level.

Rising sea levels dramatically alter the vegetation composition and structure of coastal ecosystems. However, the implications of these changes for coastal wildlife are poorly understood. We aimed to quantify responses of avian communities to forest change (i.e., ghost forests) in a low-lying coasta...
