Sea level rise driven by climate change could cause more than 42% of terrestrial land vertebrates to lose parts of their habitats to the ocean by 2100, according to a study published in Science. The global analysis overlaid habitat suitability maps for 34,120 land vertebrates, roughly 90% of all such species, with projected sea level rise. Mongabay reported the findings, which highlight the scale of coastal biodiversity risk from climate change.
