Rising seas to open new front for biological invasions
Original: Global sea-level rise will create a new biological invasion front
Researchers warn that global sea-level rise will create a new biological invasion front, as advancing saltwater allows marine and brackish species to penetrate inland ecosystems previously beyond their reach. The finding, published in Nature, suggests coastlines worldwide face not only flooding but a wave of invasive species displacing native plants and animals. Scientists urge planners to factor invasion risk into coastal adaptation strategies.
Why now: New research published in Nature highlights an underappreciated consequence of sea-level rise, prompting discussion among climate and ecology experts.
