Challenges to mangroves of the Semiarid Equatorial Coast of Brazil in the Anthropocene
Cambridge Prisms: Coastal FuturesThe semiarid northeast coast of Brazil harbours just less than 44,300 ha of mangroves, 4% of Brazilian total. Notwithstanding this relatively small area, these forests have high ecological and economic importance, sustaining traditional fisheries and ...

Mangroves and coastal topography create economic “safe havens” from tropical storms
Scientific Reports, 2021 Evidence suggests that mangroves protect economic activity in coastal areas. We estimate this protection from mangroves and coastal elevation globally, examining both “direct” and “indirect” exposure events (

Dead Matter, Living Machines: Repurposing Crustaceans' Abdomen Exoskeleton for Bio‐Hybrid Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Crustacean exoskeletons, repurposed from food waste, are engineered into sustainable bending actuators combining biotic structure with synthetic control. The augmented exoskeletons achieve rapid and robust motion with lightweight body and can be used as part of robotic manipulators, grippers and swimmers.

Mangrove bacterial richness [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2011 Mangroves are complex and dynamic ecosystems varying in salinity, water level and nutrient availability; they also contain diverse and distinct microbial communities. Studies of microbes and their interactions with other ecosystem components (e.g., tree roots) are critical for our understanding of mangrove ecosystem functioning and remediation. Using a

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A yolk@shell structured photothermal evaporator was prepared via simple sol‐gel and spray coating methods. By taking advantage of the unique yolk@shell structure, the position of the TE module within the evaporator can be optimized without affects its water evaporation performance. This results in efficient and stable evaporation (3.08‐3.17 kg m−2 h−1)‐

Turning the Tide on Mapping Marginal Mangroves with Multi-Dimensional Space–Time Remote Sensing
Remote Sensing, 2022 Mangroves are a globally important ecosystem experiencing significant anthropogenic and climate impacts. Two subtypes of mangrove are particularly vulnerable to climate-induced impacts (1): tidally submerged forests and (2) those that occur in arid and ...

Tree Physiology, 2010 Mangrove forests dominate the world's tropical and subtropical coastlines. Similar to other plant communities, nutrient availability is one of the major factors influencing mangrove forest structure and productivity. Many mangrove soils have extremely low nutrient availability, although nutrient availability can vary greatly among and within mangrove ...
