Satellite Data Reveal Concerns Regarding Mangrove Restoration Efforts in Southern China

Remote Sensing, 2023
Mangrove restoration projects are often evaluated based on the increase in mangrove forest (MF) area, but the reliability of this indicator as a measure of successful restoration is questionable.

A meta-analysis of the ecological and economic outcomes of mangrove restoration

Nature Communications, 2021
Ambitious global targets exist for mangrove restoration. A meta-analysis reveals how mangrove restoration provides higher ecosystem benefits over unvegetated tidal flats, while generally lower than natural mangroves. Restoration outcomes, however, depend
