Holocene Sea-Level Rise and the Fate of Mangrove Forests within the Wider Caribbean Region

This paper (1) reviews mangrove forest peat accretion data obtained from carbonate settings of the Wider Caribbean Region and (2) evaluates the fate of these forests based upon current global eustatic sea-level rise projections. Historical peat accretion rates calculated using137Cs or210Pb average 3...
