Exotic Laguncularia racemosa drives rapid shifts in pond-to-mangrove restoration communities

Global Ecology and Conservation
The rapid decline of mangrove ecosystems worldwide underscores the urgency of restoring these environments. In China and Southeast Asia, a recently popular method involves converting abandoned aquaculture ponds into secondary mangrove forests (i.e., pond-

Enhancement effects of mangrove restoration on blue carbon storage in Qinzhou Bay

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Mangroves are the main carbon sinks in tropical regions and have high capabilities for carbon sequestration. Protection and restoration of mangroves are necessary to reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change. While the Qinzhou Bay as the main area

Application of Stranded Pelagic Sargassum Biomass as Compost for Seedling Production in the Context of Mangrove Restoration

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
The Sargassum spp. inundations across the Atlantic and Caribbean that began in 2011 have continued unabated, and new uses for the biomass are being continuously explored.

Ocean Governance and Marine Conservation: Institutional Work as a Lever for Ocean Sustainability

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean governance presents one of the most complex environmental policy challenges of our time, requiring coordinated action across multiple scales, sectors and stakeholder groups. This paper applies institutional work theory to systematically examine how actors create, maintain and disrupt the governance arrangements underpinning ocean ...

Half of land use carbon emissions in Southeast Asia can be mitigated through peat swamp forest and mangrove conservation and restoration

Nature Communications
Southeast Asia (SEA) contributes approximately one-third of global land-use change carbon emissions, a substantial yet highly uncertain part of which is from anthropogenically-modified peat swamp forests (PSFs) and mangroves. Here, we report that between

Nested Carbon Governance in Southeast Asia: Towards Just Nature‐Based Solutions?

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have gained prominence as an integrated approach to addressing climate change and biodiversity loss while supporting sustainable development. Yet, their implementation across Southeast Asia remains fragmented and often contested.

Mangrove Microbiomes as Drivers of Ecosystem Recovery and Restoration Success

Microorganisms
The microbes found in the rhizosphere, roots, leaves and stem surfaces and within the internal tissues of mangrove vegetation and their environment constitute the microbiome of the ecosystem.

Wave transmission and drag coefficients through dense cylinder arrays: Implications for designing structures for mangrove restoration

Ecological Engineering: The Journal of Ecotechnology, 2021
Mangrove vegetation constitutes a natural coastal defence against waves and erosion. Despite their protective role, mangrove ecosystems have experienced continuous degradation over the last decades due to human causes.

Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases: A Systematic Review of Functional Foods, Medicinal Plants, Phytochemicals, Bioactive Compounds and Nutrients Effective Against Metabolic Diseases

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates how functional foods, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds and essential nutrients combat metabolic diseases. It highlights their mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, insulin‐sensitising, lipid‐regulating, gut microbiota‐modulating and mitochondrial‐enhancing effects, leading to improved ...

Ecological Functional Zoning and Multi‐Scenario Prediction in the Core Economic Region of a Tropical Island: A Case Study of the Haikou Economic Circle, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecological zoning, by accurately identifying regional ecological issues, supports the mitigation of ecological and environmental challenges brought by rapid urbanization. It plays a crucial role in advancing national ecological civilization and high‐quality urban development.
