| dc.description.abstract | Latitudinal range limits for mangroves on high-energy,
wave-dominated
coasts
are controlled by geomorphological features and estuarine dynamics. Mangroves
reach a southern global range limit along the South African coastline, but the
distribution is patchy, with stands occurring in only 16% of the estuaries in the
region. Yet, the persistence of forests planted >50 years ago beyond the natural
distribution limit suggests that additional estuaries could support mangroves.
Understanding regional drivers is necessary to inform global-scale
estimates for
how this important ecosystem is predicted to respond to climate change. | en_US |
