Comparing coastal storm impact to decadal change in barrier island ecosystems [PDF]
, 2020 Highly dynamic coastal systems respond to disturbance events with a combination of topographic and vegetative changes. Sea level rise impacts on barrier islands have been quantified, but storm effects on vegetation are limited. Here we quantified barrier
