Figure 3

The coherence-squared spectrum (black curve, below) and phase (blue curve, top) between sea level height (SLH) at Milner Bay and mangrove FCC for the three dieback categories of low, moderate, and high (top panels). The same with coastal Gulf area-averaged ESI is shown at the bottom panels. The gray line shows a 5% level of significance for coherence-squared values. Phase lags are shown in red where the coherence squared is significant at 5% level. Plots are generated using the NCAR Command Language version 6.6.2 (http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/).
