Extended Data Fig. 6: Inland retreat potential of existing mangrove and tidal marsh.
From: Widespread retreat of coastal habitat is likely at warming levels above 1.5 °C
Percentage of the current wetland area that could potentially be compensated for via wetland inland retreat until 2100, calculated for two sea-level rise scenarios. Median projections for 2.0 °C warming, allowing wetland retreat to a population threshold of (a) 5 people km−2 (worst case scenario, WC) and (b) 20 people km−2 (best case scenario, BC) Median projections for 3.0 °C warming, allowing wetland retreat to a population threshold of (c) 5 people km−2; and (d) 20 people km−2.
