As sea levels rise, living forests can become salinated. Sometimes they turn to mudflats with minimal plant life, and sometimes invasive flora species take over. But sometimes they turn to marshland, the best possible outcome as marsh plants can do some of the work of forests, such as buffering against storms and storing carbon. @KnowableMag reports on the expansion of these “ghost forests,” the near-impossibility of slowing the trend, and what coastal transition might look like.
