Global change is altering vegetation, with climate zones shifting poleward and species distributions changing. Rising sea levels, land-use change, and invasive species further modify natural vegetation, leading to the reassembly of native communities. However, the rates and patterns of community changes across different vegetation types, along with their consequences for biodiversity, remain unclear. This proposal explores the effects of global change on coastal islands and mainland habitat fragments using resampled vegetation data. Islands, which support unique biodiversity and are particularly threatened by rising sea levels and invasive species, serve as models for understanding the…
