Rising seas could cross thresholds for initiating coastal wetland drowning within decades across much of the United States

Abstract Accelerated sea-level rise is an existential threat to coastal wetlands, but the timing and extent of wetland drowning are debated. Recent data syntheses have clarified future relative sea-level rise exposure and sensitivity thresholds for drowning. Here, we integrate these advances to esti...
