Abstract Climate change is altering species’ range limits and transforming ecosystems. For example, warming temperatures are leading to the expansion of tropical, cold-sensitive species at expense their cold-tolerant counterparts. In some temperate subtropical coastal wetlands, winters enabling mangrove forest encroachment into salt marsh, which a major regime shift that has significant ecological societal ramifications. Here, we synthesized existing data expert knowledge assess distribution...

A conspicuous legacy modification marshes, which lacks standardized scale-able assessment, is ditching. Consequently, U.S. Atlantic coast resource managers must devote limited resources quantifying local-scale ditching or make decisions based literature...
