Linkages of flow regime and micro-topography: prediction for non-native mangrove invasion under sea-level rise

Flow regime is a key driver of invasive aquatic organisms, and the invasiveness of mangrove species may be simultaneously attributed to plant traits and flowing hydrological conditions at the estuary scale. We focused on hydrological and topographic conditions for a non-native mangrove species, Sonn...
