(a) The temporal lag before the total area of coastal wetlands starts to decrease substantially after the threshold of SLR rate is exceeded versus acceleration rate of sea‐level rise (SLR). (b) The total SLR sustained since 2000 that coastal wetlands can take before the total area of coastal wetland starts to decrease substantially versus acceleration rate of SLR. (Note: intermediate‐low scenario has acceleration rate of 5.42 × 10−5 m/year2, and intermediate‐high emission scenario has acceleration rate of 1.74 × 10−4 m/year2)
