Fig. 4: Wetland inland retreat potential.
From: Widespread retreat of coastal habitat is likely at warming levels above 1.5 °C
The percentage of the current wetland area that could potentially be compensated for via inland retreat until 2100, calculated for the 3.0 °C warming scenario (Methods). a, The scenario for wetland inland retreat capacity possible with a population density below 20 people per km2. b, The scenario for wetland inland retreat unimpeded by population density (the no barriers scenario14; Methods). Scenarios restricting landward encroachment under lower populations density thresholds are shown in Extended Data Fig. 6.
