Van der Stocken, T.; Vanschoenwinkel, B.; Carroll, D.; Cavanaugh, K.C.; Koedam, N. (2022). Mangrove dispersal disrupted by projected changes in global seawater density. Nat. Clim. Chang. 12(7): 685-691. https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41558-022-01391-9, more
Climate change affects sea surface density via changes in the sea surface temperature and salinity. These projected sea surface density changes are likely to affect the dispersal patterns of widely distributed mangrove species and are expected to be largest in the Indo West Pacific, the primary hotspot of mangrove diversity.
