This undated photo provided by Matthew Kirwan shows Phragmites and Spartina marshland expanding into a ghost forest in Robbins, Md. Rising sea levels are killing trees along vast swaths of the North American coast by inundating them in salt water. The dead trees in what used to be thriving freshwater coastal environments are called “ghost forests” by researchers. (Matthew Kirwan via AP)
