Figure 5

Modelled year of submergence versus starting elevation (m NAVD88) for two accelerated sea-level rise scenarios. Projected year of submergence versus site elevation as a continuous (a) and discrete (b) function for medium sea-level rise projections (dashed line, IPCC RCP 6.0; 0.55 m by 2100), and projected year of submergence versus site elevation as a continuous (c) and discrete (d) function for fast sea-level rise projections (dashed line, IPCC RCP 8.5; 0.74 m by 2100) for nine created mangrove wetlands (pink lines and symbols) versus nine co-located reference mangrove wetlands (green lines and symbols) in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA.
