Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Hurricanes are among the most destructive natural disturbances in mangroves, altering community structure and ecological processes. Despite their impacts, few studies have assessed changes in belowground root processes (i.e., biomass, production, decomposition) following major hurricanes.

Mangrove primary production at El Conchalito Estuary in la Paz Bay (Baja California Sur, Mexico).
Ciencias Marinas, 2006 The structure, litterfall production, and primary production of the mangrove stand at El Conchalito Estuary in La Paz Bay (Baja California Sur, Mexico) were studied during two annual cycles (1998–2000).

Coastal carbon processing rates increase with mangrove cover following a hurricane in Texas, USA
Ecosphere, 2022 Changes in species distributions and disturbances have complex impacts on ecosystem functioning. In many subtropical coastal wetlands, plant identity and cover are changing, as salt marshes dominated by low‐stature herbaceous species transition to woody ...

Mangroves and Their Response to a Heavy Metal Polluted Wetland in the North Coast of Puerto Rico [PDF]
, 2016 Peninsula La Esperanza is part of the San Juan Bay Estuary and located in the north coast of Puerto Rico. Mangroves are the predominant type of vegetation; that can exhibit diverse external and internal mechanisms allowing them to tolerate and to act as ...

Mangrove Pollinator Functional Diversity Decreases With Patch Size and Landscape Anthropization
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.This study explores how land use changes impact pollinator diversity in mangrove ecosystems, focusing on the effects of patch size and landscape anthropization on pollinators with different functional traits. Results show that smaller mangrove patches can support higher pollinator abundance, richness, and diversity; however, overall pollinator metrics ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 7, September 2025.Mangrove ecosystems face significant threats from climate change and human activities. In West Benin, the invasive grass Paspalum vaginatum disrupts sedimentation and hydrology, creating anoxic conditions and nutrient imbalances. To address this, we implemented a cost‐effective restoration strategy focused on hydrological repair, engaging local ...

Adjustments in leaf water relations of mangrove (Avicennia germinans) seedlings grown in a salinity gradient [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2000 We used pressure-volume analysis and dewpoint hygrometry to determine leaf water relation parameters of mangrove (Avicennia germinans L.) seedlings grown at salinities of 0, 8, 20 and 32 per thousand. Seedlings responded to an increase in salinity from 0 to 32 per thousand by an increase in leaf succulence as reflected in an increase in leaf water ...

Hydraulic Properties of a Mangrove Avicennia Germinans as Affected by NaCl
Biologia plantarum, 2001 Water transport was assessed in seedlings of the mangrove Avicennia germinans L. grown at 171 and 684 mol m−3 NaCl. Leaf specific conductivity declined by 25 % at high salinity. This was related to low specific conductivity, because Huber values remained similar. Leaves of A. germinans featured low internal conductance to water transport.

Coupling Avicennia tree architecture to radar backscatter models for estimating mangrove forest biomass [PDF]
, 2004 The understanding of mangrove ecosystems functioning requires techniques allowing their forest structure and forest biomass to be assessed. Among them, radar measurements have demonstrated powerful capabilities that, however, must be validated ...
