This study demonstrates that careful adaptation to sea level rise can reduce the cost of coastal impacts dramatically.
The new biotype was found in a limited area in the undergrowth of a pine forest, 600-1000 m above sea level.
The effects of climate change (for example) include sea level rises, and increased frequencies of droughts, storms, and extreme temperatures.
The subject of sea level rise is surrounded by uncertainties.
The roles of sea level and tectonics in controlling sedimentation and facies architecture are recurrent themes.
The model assumes constant tectonic subsidence and a random variation in sea level.
At the base of the escarpment, about 100 km inland, the elevation is about 20 - 40 m above sea level.
Continents rising above sea level constitute the major renewable source of nutrients (nitrate, phosphate) essential to maintaining life.
