The mangroves distributed at the Red Sea coast in Egypt have been destroyed recently.The condition suitable for mangroves were determined.Six sites suitable for mangroves plantation were identified, then ranked. Mangroves protect shorelines from waves and floods, help prevent coastal erosion by stabilizing sediments with their tangled root systems ...

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022
In southern Iran, Sirik Estuary hosts the only two-species (Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia marina) mangrove forest in the northwesternmost edge of the Indian Ocean mangrove distribution. Aiming to protect its forest reserve and compensate for inevitable losses, this study utilized habitat suitability modeling (the Maxent model) to identify suitable

Nekton communities as indicators of habitat functionality in Philippine mangrove plantations
Marine and Freshwater Research, 2017In the present study, we investigated the changes to nekton communities with increasing mangrove forest age and relationships between nekton and the mangrove vegetation, mangrove sediments and environmental variables. The nekton community was assessed as a potential indicator for evaluating habitat functionality of mangrove planting programs.

Modelling above ground biomass accumulation of mangrove plantations in Vietnam
Forest Ecology and Management, 2019In many tropical nations, mangrove forests are essential ecosystems for climate change mitigation and adaptation in coastal regions as they provide important forest resources as well as a suite of other benefits to communities including carbon sequestration. Empirical growth and yield modelling methods derived from terrestrial forestry, which are often

Allometry and biomass distribution in replanted mangrove plantations at Gazi Bay, Kenya
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2009Abstract This study reports above‐ground biomass of 5 and 8 years old mangrove plantations in Kenya. Trees with stem diameter greater than 5.0 cm inside 100 m2 sample plots were harvested, and then separated into stems (trunks), branches, leaves and prop roots. Mean above‐ground biomass was calculated at 20.25 t dry matter ha−1 for Rhizophora mucronata

Simulating harvesting scenarios towards the sustainable use of mangrove forest plantations
Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2011Mangrove forests appear among the most productive ecosystems on earth and provide important goods and services to tropical coastal populations. Thirty-five percent of mangrove forest areas have been lost worldwide in the last two decades. Management measures could be an option to combine human use and conservation of mangroves.

Plantation Methods and Restoration Techniques for Enhanced Blue Carbon Sequestration by Mangroves
2019Global warming and associated climate change is one of the focal environmental problems of this decade. So, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) initiatives focuses on plantation programs in tropical/sub-tropical areas of the globe.

Coastal deforestation in the Ayeyarwady Delta, Myanmar (formerly Burma) is addressed through the promotion of native-species mangrove plantations on cleared land formerly sustaining natural mangrove forests. To date there are no attempts to determine the optimal mangrove plantation strategy to maximize economic returns for private or communal ...

Impacts of mangrove plantations on land stabilization along the coastline in Bangladesh [PDF]
, 2019 Rapid degradation of stabilized mangrove plantations in the southern and south-eastern part of Bangladesh has raised much concern to the scientists and environmentalists. In the past, land stabilization concept in connection to mangrove plantations is poorly understood.
