摘要: ABSTRACT Berry, A.; Fahey, S., and Meyers, N., 2013. Changing of the guard: adaptation options that maintain ecologically resilient sandy beach ecosystems. Sandy ecosystems adapt to sea-level rise by retreating landward. Retreat enables a ecosystem while maintaining structure function over various spatial temporal scales. However, options, such as engineered barriers shoreline retreat, reduce adaptive capacity and, therefore, ecological resilience rise. Species richness diversity becomes threatened when beaches are squeezed between “fortifications” increasing sea levels. Unidimensional management gives precedence protection coastal investments at expense resilience. This article provides critical assessment identify those capable Hard- soft-engineered impede sand transport sto...
