Post-glacial expansion and population genetic divergence of mangrove species Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn and Rhizophora mangle L. along the Mexican coast. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mangrove forests in the Gulf of California, Mexico represent the northernmost populations along the Pacific coast and thus they are likely to be source populations for colonization at higher latitudes as climate becomes more favorable.

Cell Viability and Leakage of Electrolytes in Avicennia germinans Exposed to Heavy Metals

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2009
The effect of heavy metal stress on the cell viability and leakage of electrolytes of Avicennia germinans leaf discs was investigated by the tissue tolerance test. Foliar discs were incubated with different Cd2+ or Cu2+ concentrations for 24 h; thereafter, the cell membrane stability of the tissue was assayed by the cell viability Evans blue and ...

Genetic Diversity of the Black Mangrove Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn in Northwestern Mexico [PDF]

Forests, 2016
Mangrove forests of Mexico have been threatened by the effects of anthropogenic activities during the last decades, mostly related to aquaculture, agriculture, livestock and urban development. Genetic diversity and fine-scale genetic structure of two generations of the black mangrove Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn were investigated in perturbed and ...

An Improved Method for the Isolation of Total RNA from Avicennia germinans Leaves

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 2008
Isolation of high-quality RNA of Avicennia germinans L. tissue is difficult due to high levels of phenols and other substances that interfere when using conventional procedures for the isolation. These substances not only decrease the yield but also the quality of RNA is almost poor.

Pneumatophore CO2 effluxes decrease with increased salinity in mangrove forests of Yucatan, Mexico [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Although mangrove forests are great carbon sinks, they also release carbon dioxide (CO2) from soil, plants, and water through respiration. Many studies have focused on CO2 effluxes only from soils, but the role of biogenic structures such as ...

Sediment microbial community structure associated to different ecological types of mangroves in Celestún, a coastal lagoon in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Mangroves are unique coastal ecosystems, which have many important ecological functions, as they are a reservoir of many marine species well adapted to saline conditions and are fundamental as sites of carbon storage.

First evidence of polyembryony in black mangrove Avicennia germinans

Botanica Marina, 2022
Abstract We provide the first documented case of the black mangrove, Avicennia germinans, producing multiple seedlings from a single propagule, a phenomenon called polyembryony, on several occasions. There is a lack of knowledge about polyembryony in mangroves, as it is an extremely rare phenomenon previously observed in only three other

21st-Century Mangrove Expansion Along the Southeastern United States. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Global warming is driving poleward range shifts worldwide, including the northward expansion of tropical mangroves along the Atlantic coast of North America. In this region, warming winters are enabling mangroves to encroach into salt marsh–dominated temperate latitudes, potentially transforming wetland ecosystem function and services. To assess future

Mapping Mangrove Zonation Changes in Senegal with Landsat Imagery Using an OBIA Approach Combined with Linear Spectral Unmixing

Remote Sensing, 2021
The mangrove areas in Senegal have fluctuated considerably over the last few decades, and it is therefore important to monitor the evolution of forest cover in order to orient and optimise forestry policies. This study presents a method for mapping plant
