Hydrological Classification, a Practical Tool for Mangrove Restoration

PLOS ONE, 2016
Mangrove restoration projects, aimed at restoring important values of mangrove forests after degradation, often fail because hydrological conditions are disregarded. We present a simple, but robust methodology to determine hydrological suitability for mangrove species, which can guide restoration practice.

Modeled approaches to estimating blue carbon accumulation with mangrove restoration to support a blue carbon accounting method for Australia

Limnology and Oceanography, 2022
The development and refinement of methods for estimating organic carbon accumulation in biomass and soils during mangrove restoration and rehabilitation can encourage uptake of restoration projects for their ecosystem services, including those of climate

Temporal changes in habitat structure and gastropod community assemblage in response to active restoration of a Central American mangrove

Frontiers in Marine Science
Mangrove forests are biodiversity hotspots that provide critical ecosystem services, from coastal protection to carbon storage. Yet, these ecosystems are disappearing at alarming rates, and while restoration efforts are expanding globally, long-term ...

Mangrove restoration enhances blue carbon sequestration and its stability in a subtropical tidal wetland

Functional Ecology
Mangrove forests are among the most productive blue carbon (C) ecosystems. While mangrove restoration is recognized for its potential to increase coastal blue C storage, its effects on soil organic C (SOC) stability and sources remain poorly ...

Responses of Biomass and Allometric Growth Equations of Juvenile Mangrove Plants to Salinity, Flooding, and Aboveground Competition

Horticulturae
China has implemented large-scale mangrove restoration and afforestation initiatives in recent years. However, there has been a paucity of research on the growth of mangrove seedlings in a composite stress environment and the allometric growth equation ...

Mangrove Restoration for Coastal Protection

, 2023
The world’s population continues to grow, and at the same time, the oceans are rising, posing challenges for those living near coastal areas. Almost two-thirds of the global population resides within 50 kilometers of the coast. Mangrove forests offer solutions to mitigate the potential for flooding and provide natural coastal protection. Traditionally,

SPATIAL ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR MANGROVE FORESTS RESTORATION

Caminhos de Geografia, 2016
Mangroves are coastal ecosystems in transition between sea and land, localized worldwide on the tropical and subtropical regions. However, anthropogenic pressure in coastal areas has led to the conversion of many mangrove areas to other uses. Due to the increased awareness of the importance of mangroves worldwide, restoration methods are being studied.

Current trends and future directions for integrating social values into mangrove restoration

Restoration Ecology
Despite the recent rise in mangrove restoration projects, the extent to which many projects include social dimensions remains contested, with limited research informing insights from on‐ground projects.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
