Why might changes to the gulf coast prairies and marshes eco region happen more quickly than to other eco region?

Changes to the Gulf Coast prairies and marshes eco-region may occur more rapidly due to its vulnerability to climate change, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events like hurricanes. The region's flat topography and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico make it susceptible to flooding and erosion, exacerbating habitat loss. Additionally, human activities such as urban development and agriculture can lead to accelerated degradation of these ecosystems. The combined effects of natural and anthropogenic pressures can thus result in quicker ecological transformations compared to more stable eco-regions.
