Sedimentation in Mangrove Forests

Mangroves and Salt Marshes, 1996
The tidal currents in mangrove forests are impeded by the friction caused by the high vegetation density. The tidal currents are also complex comprising eddies, jets and stagnation zones. The sediment particles carried in suspension into the forest during tidal inundation are cohesive, mainly clay and fine silt, and form large flocs. These flocs remain

The decomposition of mangrove litter in a subtropical mangrove forest

Hydrobiologia, 1996
Decomposition of Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh. leaf and woody litter (twigs) was studied using litter bag experiments in a subtropical mangrove forest at two tidal levels (high and low) with different inundation regimes and during two seasons (summer and winter).

Mangrove Forest and Plantation

2020
Mangroves, which were once considered wastelands, are being increasingly recognized for their ecological services that they perform as inshore stabilization, protection from cyclones/storms/tsunami, home to marine biodiversity, etc. Mangroves prosper in warm tropical regions. More than 40% of world mangroves are found in Asia. Mangrove forests in India
