Distribution and retention of microplastics in plantation mangrove forest sediments
Chemosphere, 2022Microplastics (MPs) in ocean tides can be effectively intercepted by mangroves, especially sediments, which are considered to be effective sinks. However, the retention of plantation mangrove forests on MPs is still unclear. In this study, the spatial distribution and its implication factors of MPs in surface sediments of plantation mangrove forests ...

Mangrove plantation is widely applied to re-establish the plant community in degraded mangroves, but its effectiveness to restore the ecological functions of macrobenthic community remains poorly known, especially when pollution may overwhelm its potential positive effect. Here, we tested the effect of mangrove plantation on the ecological functions of

Net Pay: Economic Analysis of a Replanted Mangrove Plantation in Kenya
Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 2009Economic analysis of mangrove reforestation is provided for a replanted Rhizophora mucronata plantation at Gazi Bay, Kenya. Major goods and services from a 12-year plantation were identified as: firewood and building poles, coastal protection, ecotourism, research and education, carbon sequestration and on-site fisheries.

Forest Ecology and Management, 2016
In China, large-scale mangrove afforestation has been performed over the last two decades using introduced species. The large areas occupied by the introduced Sonneratia apetala have generated some concerns of biological invasion. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of planting native mangrove species under the canopy of S. apetala

Ecological development of mangrove plantations in the Bangladesh Delta
Forest Ecology and Management, 2022Afforestation is a process used in recovering the global mangrove cover. Succession or development in mangrove communities during mangrove afforestation has rarely been described yet is important for understanding the potential of afforestation in creating diverse and functional mangroves. Since 1966, the Government of Bangladesh has created nearly 280

Structural development and productivity of replanted mangrove plantations in Kenya [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2008 Forest structure and productivity was investigated in a 12-year-old Rhizophora mucronata Lam. plantation at Gazi Bay, Kenya. Sampling was carried out in 22, 10 m 10 m quadrats laid along belt transects perpendicular to the waterline. Within each quadrat all trees with stem diameter greater than 2.5 cm were identified, position marked and counted ...

Leaf area index and biomass estimation for mangrove plantation in Thailand
IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004Mangrove plantations are expected to function as the sinks off greenhouse gases, by their CO/sub 2/ sequestration ability due to a high primary productivity. It is necessary to measure leaf area index (LAI) with uniform accuracy to stringently calculate the amount of CO/sub 2/ sequestrated by forests. In this study, we have evaluated the validity of an

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2017
Abstract Mangrove rehabilitation programs received much attention in the past decades as a response to widespread global degradation. While the documented successes and failures of mangrove rehabilitation accomplishments were varied, the objective and scheme is common, mainly focused on planting and creating monospecific plantations.

Mangrove plantation over a limestone reef – Good for the ecology?
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2016There have been efforts to restore degraded tropical and subtropical mangrove forests. While there have been many failures, there have been some successes but these were seldom evaluated to test to what level the created mangrove wetlands reproduce the characteristics of the natural ecosystem and thus what ecosystem services they can deliver.

Mangrove Forest and Plantation
2020Mangroves, 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
