TL;DR:
It is predicted that saltwater intrusion could negatively affect rocklands by 2050, resulting in degradation of 80% of the existing habitat because of an anticipated 42 cm of SLR, and short‐term stochastic events such as storm surge and high tides may increasingly saturate the root zone of rockland vegetation before complete inundation.
