dc.description.abstract | This chapter provides an overview of the vulnerability to climate change of five of the GBR’s major geomorphological features: i) coral reefs, ii) reef islands, iii) high island beaches and spits, iv) mainland sandy coasts, and v) mainland muddy coasts. The vulnerability of biota associated with these features is assessed in other chapters (Lovelock and Ellison chapter 9, Hoegh-Guldberg et al. chapter 10, Congdon et al. chapter 14, Fabricius et al. chapter 17, Sheaves et al. chapter 19 and Turner and Batianoff chapter 20). Vulnerability is defined as the degree to which a system or species is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, the adverse effects of climate change. | en |
