How much species' biodiversity could area targets protect globally?

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Protection targets for addressing biodiversity loss include protecting at least 30% of the land and ocean in ecologically representative areas, but do not specify how many or what proportion of species should be protected from extinction. Here, a systematic analysis of 77 880 marine, freshwater and terrestrial species indicates that all species could ...

Climate change and its risk reduction by mangrove ecosystem of Bangladesh [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Climate change is amongst the most dreaded problems of the new millennium. Bangladesh is a coastal country bounded by Bay of Bengal on its southern part and here natural disasters are an ongoing part of human life.

Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

Characteristics of anthropogenic solid waste in some mangrove ecosystems of East Java, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
Some mangrove ecosystems in East Java, Indonesia have a serious problem, i.e. the degradation of ecosystem quality caused by anthropogenic solid waste pollution dominated by macroplastics from human activities in the surrounding area. This study aimed to

Friends or Foes? The Problem of South Florida’s Invasive Mangroves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A recent global review on the impacts of climate change on mangroves concluded that different regions will experience varying degrees of impacts due to the variability of expected changes in climate (shifts in precipitation, frequency and intensity of ...

Using physics‐informed neural networks to quantify submarine groundwater discharge under high‐frequency tidal dynamics using heat as a tracer

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating exchange rates of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) at high temporal resolution over extended periods remains challenging, particularly when using heat as a tracer in highly dynamic environments such as tidal systems. Currently available heat transport models struggle to accurately quantify SGD exchange rates in these settings ...

Exotic Laguncularia racemosa drives rapid shifts in pond-to-mangrove restoration communities

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
The rapid decline of mangrove ecosystems worldwide underscores the urgency of restoring these environments. In China and Southeast Asia, a recently popular method involves converting abandoned aquaculture ponds into secondary mangrove forests (i.e., pond-

Effect of Growing Season on Growth and Relation of Height and Above Ground Biomass of Avicennia Marina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Relation of height of seedling stands and above ground biomass is an important indicator of successful stand establishment and effectivity of carbon cycle which requires further study. This research aimed to study the growth level

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Long-term vegetation succession increases aquatic animal structural stability and functional vulnerability following pond-to-mangrove restoration

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Abandoned pond-to-mangrove restoration, as a more cost-effective method than mudflat afforestation, would be the primary method of mangrove restoration globally in the future.
