Les mangroves face aux changements climatiques : Le cas à la fois typique et particulier du Vietnam

In the context of climate change and sea level rise, several countries find themselves in a very difficult situation, because of the extent of their coastal zones. This is the case for Vietnam, where most of the 3,200 km of coasts are characterized by a very low elevation, thus very sensitive to sea...
