coastal-ecology
Coastal ecology examines the complex interactions between plant communities and their environment at the dynamic interface where terrestrial and marine systems meet. Plants in these zones must contend with extreme conditions including salt stress, tidal fluctuation, and shifting sediments, making them valuable models for studying stress tolerance and adaptation. Understanding how coastal plant communities function and respond to disturbance is critical for conservation, as these habitats face mounting pressure from sea-level rise and human development.
