Sea level rise and Florida’s insular vertebrate biodiversity: predictions of island inundation and the number of coastal species vulnerable to sea level rise
Description
Data include the proportion of Florida's coastal islands (n = 2504) that are projected to be inundated from sea level rise (SLR), as well as a prediction of the depth of SLR that would inundate each island. Data include the proportion of Florida's islands predicted to still be above water in 2100 that are currently human-modified. Data also include a count of the number of terrestrial, nonvolant mammalian, reptilian, and amphibian species on a subset list of Florida's Species of Greatest Conservation Need (n = 85) that are vulnerable to sea level rise because some or all of their distribution occurs on Florida's islands.
