Exotic mangrove Laguncularia racemosa litter input accelerates nutrient cycling in mangrove ecosystems [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceExotic plant litter presents different chemical and physical properties relative to native plant litter and alters ecosystem processes and functions that may facilitate exotic plant dispersal. However, these effects are largely unknown, especially within

Evaluation of Potential Thrombin Inhibitors from the White Mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn.) [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2015 The aim of this work was to verify the effects of methanol (MeOH) and hydroalcoholic (HA) extracts and their respective partition phases obtained from white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn.) leaves on human thrombin activity.

Laguncularia racemosa Phenolics Profiling by Three-Phase Solvent System Step-Gradient Using High-Performance Countercurrent Chromatography with Off-Line Electrospray Mass-Spectrometry Detection [PDF]
Molecules, 2021 The detailed metabolite profiling of Laguncularia racemosa was accomplished by high-performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC) using the three-phase system n-hexane–tert-butyl methyl ether–acetonitrile–water 2:3:3:2 (v/v/v/v) in step-gradient ...

Fungal succession on the decomposition of three plant species from a Brazilian mangrove [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Leaf decomposition is the primary process in release of nutrients in the dynamic mangrove habitat, supporting the ecosystem food webs. On most environments, fungi are an essential part of this process.

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

Analysis of mangrove forest succession, using sediment cores: a case study in the Cananéia -Iguape coastal system, São Paulo Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2009 Sediment cores are an essential tool for the analysis of the dynamics of mangrove succession. Coring was used to correlate changes in depositional environments and lateral sedimentary facies with discrete stages of forest succession at the Cananéia ...

Evaluation of molluscicidal activity of three mangrove species (Avicennia schaueriana, Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle) and their effects on the bioactivity of Biomphalaria glabrata Say, 1818 [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2018 Schistosomiasis is a disease of global extent reaching populations in social vulnerability. One of the control measures of this parasitosis is the use of molluscicidal substances that can fight snails of the genus Biomphalaria, intermediate hosts of ...

Tree Weights of <i>Avicennia germinans</i> in Mangrove Ecosystems Along the Guyana Coastline. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT Mangroves 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.

Variation in the Adult Sex Ratio and Morphological Traits of <i>Cardisoma guanhumi</i> (Latreille, 1828) in Contrasting Habitats in the Southwest of the Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAt a regional scale, we found a bias toward one sex according to the habitat and differences in weight and size between females and males. ABSTRACT The habitat and its environmental conditions, when optimal, influence the reproduction and survival of organisms, since they can have an impact on demographic parameters such as adult sex ratio (ASR ...
