An economic valuation of mangrove restoration in Brazil

Ecological Economics, 2015
Abstract Mangrove forests are under considerable pressure in many developing countries and Brazil is not an exception to this problem. We investigate preferences for the restoration of mangrove areas in Brazil, using a choice experiment that varies the level and time of restoration.

Role of extracellular polymeric substances in metal sequestration during mangrove restoration.

Chemosphere, 2022
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are widely observed in aquatic ecosystems, however the potential function of EPS on metal sequestration in mangrove wetlands is unclear. Thus, an ecological restoration area (including Sonneratia apetala, Kandelia

Mangrove Silviculture and Restoration

2002
The above quote reveals an innate understanding of mangrove systems: they are changeable, they are dynamic, they are unpredictable, they are subject to aperiodic and periodic fluctuations of the extreme kind, and, as important as each of the above is, each mangrove community has a history.

Study of soil physicochemical properties and heavy metals of a mangrove restoration wetland

, 2021
To better understand the optimal restoration pattern, this study explored the soil physicochemical properties and distribution characteristics of heavy metals under various planting patterns in the mangrove restoration wetland which in Jinjiang, Fujian ...

Valuation of Mangrove Restoration

2017
Abstract Since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, there has been strong interest globally in restoring mangrove ecosystems and their potential benefits from protecting coastlines and people from damaging storms. However, the net economic gains from mangrove restoration have been variable; there have been some notable project successes but

Restoration of Biogeochemical Function in Mangrove Forests

Restoration Ecology, 2000
AbstractForest structure of mangrove restoration sites (6 and 14 years old) at two locations (Henderson Creek [HC] and Windstar [WS]) in southwest Florida differed from that of mixed‐basin forests (>50 years old) with which they were once contiguous.

Secondary succession impairment in restored mangroves

Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2012
In this work it was hypothesized that secondary succession on sites that have been managed by single planting of mangrove species is compromised by residual stressors, which could reduce the ecosystem’s structural development and lower its functions. Forest structure and environmental characteristics of three planted mangrove stands are compared with ...

Ecology and Restoration of Mangrove Shorelines in Florida

Environmental Conservation, 1977
Mangroves play an important role in estuarine ecological systems as well as in shoreline protection. Such large areas of mangroves have been lost by dredging, land-filling, and other means, that it has become important to develop techniques for restoring or replacing them.
