Mangrove Response to the Continuous Disturbance by Multiple Typhoons on the Qi'ao Island, Zhuhai, Using Sentinel-2 Remote Sensing Images

Redai dili, 2023
Mangroves are typical ecosystems located in the intertidal zone of tropical and subtropical coasts that protect the area against wave action, promote accretion in river estuaries, and act as an important global carbon sink.

Wave attenuation in mangrove forests; field data obtained in Trang, Thailand [PDF]

, 2012
Mangroves thrive in sheltered intertidal areas in the tropics and sub-tropics. Due to this position at the interface between land and sea, mangroves play an important role in the attenuation of waves.

Biomass carbon stocks in conserved and rehabilitated mangroves of Indonesia: Case studies from Biduk-Biduk, Karimunjawa, Pati and Indramayu [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Mangroves could potentially contribute to global climate change adaptation and mitigation by absorbing carbon with large amounts and storing it in the sediment and biomass for a long time.

Climate-driven regime shifts in a mangrove-salt marsh ecotone over the past 250 years. [PDF]

, 2019
Climate change is driving the tropicalization of temperate ecosystems by shifting the range edges of numerous species poleward. Over the past few decades, mangroves have rapidly displaced salt marshes near multiple poleward mangrove range limits ...

Does plastic waste kill mangroves? A field experiment to assess the impact of macro plastics on mangrove growth, stress response and survival.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
The value of mangroves has been widely acknowledged, but mangrove forests continue to decline due to numerous anthropogenic stressors. The impact of plastic waste is however poorly known, even though the amount of plastic litter is the largest in the ...

Mangroves As Coastal Bio-Shield: A Review of Mangroves Performance in Wave Attenuation

Civil Engineering Journal, 2021
Mangroves have been recognized as soft structures that provide coastline protection. The capability of dampening waves helps minimize destruction from catastrophic events including erosive wave attacks, torrential storms, and tsunamis.
