Evaluating climate change impacts on English coastal zone habitats
Coastal habitats potentially will be impacted both by sea-level rise and by changes in the frequency of coastal flooding. An assessment of the potential impacts is being carried out to provide an evidence base on which management strategies for habitat adaptation to climate change can be developed. The work is being carried out by a team of experts including HR Wallingford’s Environment Group.
The consequences of climate change for coastal zone habitats are being evaluated at a national scale. The work for this Defra-Natural England funded study supports adaptation to climate change and planning for replacement habitat, and focuses on Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats both behind the natural and defended coastline.
