Evolutionary ecology is critical to accurately predict coastal marsh drowning due to sea level raise. Vahsen etal 2022 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq0595

+ incorporating lines of evidence from plant physiology, genetics, and computational simulations
+ found rapid evolution of root traits (aboveground traits less variable)
+ simulations incorporating new data showed marshes less able to keep up with sea level.

What do we should we prioritize to do better #synthesis #research in #ecology & #environmentalScience? => DEIJ, Human & Natural Systems, Actionable & use-inspired science, scale, generality, complexity & resilience, and predictability. To do this we need to expand participation, #data, and knowledge.
