rising sea levelsmay causeseawater to flow into groundwater aquifers and freshwater coastal systems
Since the mid-1980s , a succession of studies has attempted to assess how an increase in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases could affect agricultural production through three channels : a ) higher CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere may have a positive " fertilizer effect " on some crop plants ( and weeds ) ; b ) higher temperatures could result in a rise in the sea level ,resultingin inundation of coastal areas and intrusion of saltwater into groundwater aquifers
