Ecosystem damage by increasing tropical cyclones

C. J. Feehan, K. Filbee-dexter, et al.

Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclone activity, leading to increased economic losses and devastating effects on coastal ecosystems. Research by Colette J. Feehan, Karen Filbee-Dexter, Mads Solgaard Thomsen, Thomas Wernberg, and Travis Miles reveals that the impacts of North Atlantic tropical cyclones on mangrove forests are significant, affecting species performance and ecosystem resilience.
