Non-linear interactions determine the impact of sea-level rise on estuarine benthic biodiversity and ecosystem processes.
Sea-level rise induced by climate change may have significant impacts on the ecosystem functions and ecosystem services provided by intertidal sediment ecosystems. Accelerated sea-level rise is expected to lead to steeper beach slopes, coarser particle sizes and increased wave exposure, with consequ...
