Avicennia germinans leaf traits in degraded, restored, and natural mangrove ecosystems of Guyana [PDF]
Plant-Environment Interactions, 2023 Mangrove leaves have unique features that enable them to cope with shifting environmental conditions while preserving their general functionality and efficiency. We examined the morphological characteristics and chlorophyll content (spectroscopically) of

Tree Weights of <i>Avicennia germinans</i> in Mangrove Ecosystems Along the Guyana Coastline. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACTMangroves are known as highly functional and productive ecosystems despite the numerous human and environmental disturbances they face continuously. These disturbances are known to affect their ecosystem states as well as their biomass allocation in their roots, trunks, stems, and leaves.

Salt Marsh Plant Community Structure Influences Success of Avicennia germinans During Poleward Encroachment. [PDF]
Wetlands (Wilmington), 2021 Along the Florida coast, decreasing freeze events are promoting the range shift of the mangrove species Avicennia germinans northward into temperate salt marsh wetlands. Although plant species' ranges are tightly linked with their climatic tolerances, there is considerable variability in the magnitude by which biotic factors like competition and ...

Variations in water use by a mature mangrove of Avicennia germinans, French Guiana [PDF]
Annals of Forest Science, 2009 In the tropical intertidal zones, little is known on water uptake by mangroves. Transpiration rates are generally measured at leaf level, but few studies exist on water use at tree or stand levels.* The objective of this study was to measure sap flow in trees of different sizes to appreciate the range of variation in water use that may exist in a site ...

Climate-driven Avicennia germinans expansion reduces marsh edge erosion in coastal Louisiana (USA) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSubtropical black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) is expanding into higher latitudes and encroaching on existing temperate salt marshes with the potential to alter a variety of ecological processes. In the Mississippi River Delta (Louisiana, U.S.A.), wave-

Avicennia germinans (black mangrove) vessel architecture is linked to chilling and salinity tolerance in the Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Over the last several decades, the distribution of the black mangrove Avicennia germinans in the Gulf of Mexico has expanded, in part because it can survive the occasional freeze events and high soil salinities characteristic of the area.

The Distribution of Ammonia-Oxidizing Betaproteobacteria in Stands of Black Mangroves (Avicennia germinans). [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2012 The distribution of species of aerobic chemolitho-autotrophic microorganisms such as ammonia-oxidizing bacteria are governed by pH, salinity, and temperature as well as the availability of oxygen, ammonium, carbon dioxide, and other inorganic elements required for growth.
