Abstract
The Atlantic coast of France was hit by storm Xynthia in February 2010, which presumably affected coastal species. Salinity samples associated with prospection for the presence of species (amphibians), presented in Lorrain-Soligon et al. (2021), were carried out on two coastal reserves in Charente-Maritime (the national nature reserves of Moëze-Oléron and Marais d'Yves), in order to study the effects of the submersion and of the resulting increase in salinity. These surveys highlight that site-specific topographic characteristics can dampen the impact of marine submersion on coastal fauna.
