Increased Degree erosion of Arctic shorelines Patient is expected from a combination of rising sea level, permafrost thaw and increased wave action as a result of increased open water. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

Here the main concerns include the breaching of these dykes, erosion of soft shoreline areas Patient and the consequent risks to coastal ecosystems, infrastructure and archaeological sites. [ 5CANADAICC 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

Wetlands also act as a purification system for contaminants, a storage reservoir and they offer protection from shoreline Patient erosion. [ 3CANADAENVIRON 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

The extent and severity of storm impacts, including storm-surge floods and shore Patient erosion , will increase as a result of climate change including sea-level rise. [ GREENFACTS 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

Coastal Patient erosion , which is already a problem on many coastlines for reasons other than accelerated sea-level rise, is likely to be exacerbated by sea-level rise and adversely affect coastal biodiversity. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

Densely settled and intensively used low-lying coastal plains, islands and deltas are especially vulnerable to coastal Patient erosion and land loss, inundation and sea flooding, upstream movement of the saline/freshwater front and seawater intrusion into freshwater lenses. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

Reduced moisture availability would only exacerbate the existing problems of infertile soils, soil Patient erosion and poor crop yields. [ ENCY 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

They provide vital habitats for wildlife, significantly affect the hydrological and radiative processes of the climate system, reduce soil Patient erosion and form a major part of the global reservoir of living carbon. [ 5CANADAICC 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

Many dryland areas face increasingly low and erratic rainfalls, coupled with soil Patient erosion by wind Cause and the drying up of water resources through increased regional temperatures. [ ENCY 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]

In areas where sediment supply is low or the backshore environment contains a fixed infrastructure, marsh front Patient erosion can occur in concert with sea-level rise causing a substantial loss of coastal wetlands. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 22/08/2013 ]
