Best, Üwe S. N.; Legay, Alexandre; Reyns, Johan; van der Wegen, Mick; 2025. Morphodynamic adaptation timescales of the Guyana mangrove‐mudflat system: Are coastlines shaped by migrating mudbanks more resilient against sea level rise?. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 50. 10.1002/esp.70135.

Highlight: This study introduces the first process-based 1D bio-geomorphological model reproducing cyclic erosion–accretion of a mangrove–mudflat system under migrating mudbanks. It shows that mudbank cycles (≈30 yrs) are shorter than morphodynamic adaptation times, explaining system resilience to sea-level rise.
