For calculating primary effects, we estimated the inundated
and eroded area of the coastal zone according to our three
SLR scenarios. The coastal zone was defined according to the
Millennium Ecosystem Assessment as the area along the
coasts with a maximum elevation of 50 m above mean sealevel
and an inland distance of maximum 100 km. In this
coastal zone, we identified urban and intensive agricultural
areas and distinguished these from potential areas of habitat
for wildlife. For the extent of intensively used agricultural
