The study warns that as sea levels rise, mangroves may face widespread dieback due to prolonged flooding, which exceeds their tolerance levels. This could lead to the erosion of carbon-rich soils, releasing vast amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and exacerbating climate change. Additionally, the loss of mangroves would remove vital coastal protections against storms and reduce habitats for numerous species. Coastal communities that rely on mangroves for livelihoods and storm protection could face increased vulnerability. The research emphasizes the need for comprehensive coastal management to mitigate these risks.
