Abstract

This database is a compilation of surface elevation change and associated environmental data for coastal wetlands across the Conterminous United States used for analyses in the manuscript titled: Ecological transformations of coastal wetlands of the conterminous United States in response to contemporaneous sea-level rise. These data have been synthesized from the following sources and as such, the original sources should be cited over this database. Moorman, M. C., Ladin, Z. S., Tsai, E. L., Smith, A., Bessler, A., Richter, J., Harrison, R., van Druten, B., Stanton, W., Hayes, C., Harris, B. W., Hoff, M., Sasser, C., Wells, D. M., Tupacz, J., & Rankin, N. (2023).
