The impact of sea level rise on the genetic structure of a coastal buttonwood population. Research Permit and Reporting System
Negative impacts of sea level rise on coastal ecosystems, with potential loss of habitat, have been reported in many studies. Along the coastal regions of southern Florida, increasing sea level is generally expected to result in migration of salinity-tolerant mangroves inland at the expense of freshwater species. due to sea level rise will impede local gene flow, which could result in genetic drift that may erode local gene diversity before selection differentials can act.
