Brief description

The projected distributions of mangrove and saltmarsh in this dataset were developed using the method described in Hughes et al (2022) which can be downloaded from https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fenvs.2022.749950/full \r\n\r\nThe method involved the use of machine learning techniques to develop a statistical classification model for predicting the position of mangrove and saltmarsh in the present-day landscape in terms of topographic, hydrological and sedimentological predictor variables.

Three future landscapes were modelled based on the three SLR scenarios +0.5 m, +1.0 m and +1.5m. To bracket the potential outcomes three sets of projections were prepared.
