Disturbance effects are rarely distributed uniformly over space or time. Thus, scaling up the effects of disturbances requires detailed measurements across multiple spatial scales. To characterize disturbance from wrack we used monthly images from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a 144,500 m 2 Spartina alterniflora saltmarsh on Sapelo Island, Georgia (USA), from March 2020 to December 2022. Prior work as well as the results...

South Asia hosts just under 7% of global coral reef coverage but has experienced significant and widespread coral loss in recent decades.
