species to expand their ranges poleward  . This expansion can affect species interactions , and enhance sediment accretion and carbon storage rates in some instances  . Drought, low sea levels and MHWs can cause significant die-offs among mangroves  . Seagrasses are similarly vulnerable to warming  , which has been attributed as one cause of observed changes in distribution and community structure  . MHWs, together with storm-driven turbidity and structural damage, can cause seagrass die-offs  , shifts to small, fast-growing species   and ecosystem collapse .
