To shed light on the future of low-lying rural areas in the face of sea level rise, we studied a 20 km long rural coastline neighbouring a sinking city in Indonesia (8 – 20 cm yr-1), hereafter called studyarea. Through the collection of data across 7 main topics, we show that villages experienced significant RSLR near the city. Mangroves also experienced RSLR near the city, although to a lesser degree, and were able to respond to RSLR rates 4.3 cm yr-1 through various root adaptations. The seven main investigated topics, and their respective datasets:
0. village population migration
1. village house experienced RSLR
2. mangrove experienced RSLR
2a. mangrove experienced RSLR
2b. rainfall data
3. foreshore dynamics
4. mangrove bed-level dynamics based on pneumatophore markings
5. mangrove root acclimation
5.1. pneumatophore markings (same dataset as 4.)
5.2. rootmat formation
5.3. sedimentation experiment
6. lateral mangrove die-back
6.1. dead trees and summary of all datasets as used in Figure 4 of the manuscript
6.2. pneumatophore mortality (same dataset as 4.)
