Local positive feedback and the persistence and recovery of fringe Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh. mangroves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
While mangrove restoration efforts are reasonably successful, failure often occurs in high wave energy situations. Due to differences in wave energy, seedling mortality rates vary strongly with position on the intertidal flat between high water spring ...

The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of Cyperus malaccensis Lam (Cyperaceae)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Cyperus malaccensis Lam is a perennial herbaceous plant that is distributed over a large area along the southern coast of China. Some plants of the Cyperaceae family are highly similar morphologically, which makes them difficult to classify and identify.

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Mangrove bacterial richness [PDF]

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2011
Mangroves are complex and dynamic ecosystems varying in salinity, water level and nutrient availability; they also contain diverse and distinct microbial communities. Studies of microbes and their interactions with other ecosystem components (e.g., tree roots) are critical for our understanding of mangrove ecosystem functioning and remediation. Using a

A Yolk@Shell Photothermal Structure for Integrated Solar‐Driven Undrinkable Water Purification and Thermoelectric Power Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A yolk@shell structured photothermal evaporator was prepared via simple sol‐gel and spray coating methods. By taking advantage of the unique yolk@shell structure, the position of the TE module within the evaporator can be optimized without affects its water evaporation performance. This results in efficient and stable evaporation (3.08‐3.17 kg m−2 h−1)‐

Nutrition of mangroves [PDF]

open access: yesTree Physiology, 2010
Mangrove forests dominate the world's tropical and subtropical coastlines. Similar to other plant communities, nutrient availability is one of the major factors influencing mangrove forest structure and productivity. Many mangrove soils have extremely low nutrient availability, although nutrient availability can vary greatly among and within mangrove ...
