Mangrove forest keeping up with rising sea levels?
 
Increasing CO2 concentrations and temperatures, and the mean sea level rise impact mangrove functions.
Represented on 75 % of tropical coastlines, mainly in emerging countries, this ecosystem plays an important ecological, sociological and, especially, economic role for coastal populations.
