Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>To identify the relative risk to headwater wetlands systems in the York River Estuary coastal plain from climate and human stressors, we modeled inundation risk with sea level rise, surrounding land cover, and surface water sources within catchments with connected headwater- tidal wetland complexes (termed here as headwater wetlands systems).</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
