Extended Data Figure 2: Years until submergence (logarithmic scale) of the highest intertidal mangrove forest over variation in tidal range and for a range of elevation deficits.
From: The vulnerability of Indo-Pacific mangrove forests to sea-level rise
The elevation deficit is the difference between the rate of local SLR and the rate of surface elevation gain. Submergence is assumed to occur when the cumulative elevation deficit is equivalent to the elevation capital (defined as half the tidal range). The mean elevation deficit in our study was 6 mm yr−1 (dashed line); other elevation deficits shown are 12 mm yr−1 (mean + SD = 6 + 6.3; long-dashed line), 1 mm yr−1 (minimum; dotted line) and 20 mm yr−1 (maximum; solid line). Categories of tidal range are coloured blue for microtidal, yellow for mesotidal and red for macrotidal.
