An example of accelerated changes in current and future ecosystem trajectories: Unexpected rapid transitions in salt marsh vegetation forced by sea level rise
Accelerated sea level rise has forced greater changes in the vegetation of Great Sippewissett Marsh during the recent few years than were recorded in the previous half century. Even with conservative estimates of sea level rise, accretion in the salt marsh platform would be insufficient to match sub...
