mSphere, 2022 Mangroves provide a variety of ecosystem services and contribute greatly to the global biogeochemical cycle. Microorganisms play important roles in biogeochemical cycles and maintain the dynamic balance of mangroves. However, the roles of bacteria in the

Global mangrove root production, its controls and roles in the blue carbon budget of mangroves
Global Change Biology, 2023 Mangroves are among the most carbon‐dense ecosystems worldwide. Most of the carbon in mangroves is found belowground, and root production might be an important control of carbon accumulation, but has been rarely quantified and understood at the global ...

Mangroves shelter coastal economic activity from cyclones
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Mounting evidence suggests that mangrove forests protect coastal communities during tropical storm events. Yet, no large-scale analysis exists documenting these storm protection benefits globally.

PLoS ONE, 2017 Globally, it is recognized that blue carbon ecosystems, especially mangroves, often sequester large quantities of carbon and are of interest for inclusion in climate change mitigation strategies. While 19% of the world's mangroves are in Africa, they are

EDIS, 2022 Urban mangroves are mangroves located in cities and residential areas. While urban mangroves may be highly impacted by humans, they continue to provide important ecosystem services, or benefits to society. In fact, due to their location, more people may

Nature Communications, 2023 Mangroves and saltmarshes are biogeochemical hotspots storing carbon in sediments and in the ocean following lateral carbon export (outwelling). Coastal seawater pH is modified by both uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and natural biogeochemical ...

Coastal Protection Using Integration of Mangroves with Floating Barges: An Innovative Concept
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Mangroves and moored barges are used individually for coastal protection and beach restoration. This conceptual paper discusses about the integration of mangroves with moored floating barges for coastal protection.

Marshes and Mangroves as Nature-Based Coastal Storm Buffers.
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2022 Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to global change.
