Story by Chrissy Sexton, August 31, 2023
"The results of the study show that higher global temperatures will trigger a rise in sea levels that will lead to instability and profound changes to coastal #ecosystems, including #Tidal Marshes, #mangrove forests, #CoralReefs and #coral islands.
"'Mangroves and tidal #marshes act as a buffer between the ocean and the land – they absorb the impact of wave action, prevent erosion and are crucial for #biodiversity of fisheries and coastal plants,' said study lead author Neil Saintilan of Macquarie University. 'When the plants become water-logged due to higher sea levels, they start to flounder."
"In the worst-case scenarios, these coastal habitats, will shrink - and in some cases wash away - as they have in the distant past, according to the study."

The end of a day, the beginning of spring, Marino Pond, Plymouth, Connecticut. As the sunset marks the end of the day, bright green shoots atop these clumps of sedge signal the end of winter. April 8, 2020, 7:06 PM.

https://www.google.com/mymaps/viewer?mid=1SuOTCXsU735Js3laAh3kpm3OYqF1_XI&hl=en
I can give each its own layer in my Google Map of 84c, export as separate KMLs, then import into iNat as two small Places.

Conocarpus erectus L. (Combretaceae) is sometimes called "button mangrove", however, I've never seen it within the mangrove forest here along the Amazon coast. The shrubs rather occur beyond the limit of regular tidal inundation in an open marsh environment with moderately salt-tolerant herbs.

The #MerrittIsland National #Wildlife Refuge or #MINWR occupies the northern parts of Merritt Island, north of Kennedy Space Center #KSC’s operational area.
The #brackish #marshes and #wetlands attract an enormous number of #birds of many #species, like #roseate #spoonbills, white #ibis, and #herons.
They are unique #habitat and unique to #photograph.

Bay. Just as sea-level rise is accelerating, the demand for sediment is growing.
The amount of sediment supplied to estuaries is important to the fate of shallow water habitats, including mudflats and tidal #marshes.

The Draining of the Fens, by Eric Ash informed Annie Proulx’s Bog, Fen & Swamp.
Fenland #Geography: peat fens, silt #marshes, & meandering #rivers:
The region in #England known today as the #Fens or the #fenlands occupies a large,
crescent-shaped area of land
... Wedged between elevated areas of clay, chalk, & limestone, the Fens themselves rest on a sunken bed of clay that was once part of the #NorthSea floor

Though most of #Florida is known for its #humid #subtropical #climate (#KöppenClimateType #Cfa #HumidSubtropical), Florida has #native species of #cacti. The #OpuntiaAmmonphila, or #devilstoungue, is a #cactus native to Central Florida. It often grows on the landward-side of #beach #dunes. The cactus can withstand the #salt spray from the #ocean, and grow along the #briney #marshes, where salt-free #water is scarce. They produce dramatic #yellow #flowers.
