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 (

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Climate change killed 40 million Australian mangroves in 2015. Here’s why they’ll probably never grow back [PDF]
, 2022 In the summer of 2015-2016, some 40 million mangroves shrivelled up and died across the wild Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia, after extremely dry weather from a severe El Niño event saw coastal water plunge 40 centimetres.

Boletim do Observatório Ambiental Alberto Ribeiro Lamego, 2012 In the city of Buzios (RJ), Brazil, from the Una River, mangroves tend to develop the physiographic type of fringe or border, that is, mangroves growing on beaches without a upstream freshwater source. In Buzios, however, the three mangroves of this type

Determinants of habitat use by fish and crustaceans in mangroves: using habitat characteristics to predict communities [PDF]
Healthy mangroves are important for the provisioning of ecosystem goods and services that contribute to human wellbeing. Productive fisheries have been associated with healthy mangrove forests which function as nursery habitats for juvenile reef species.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Mangroves in arid regions: Ecology, threats, and opportunities
, 2020 Mangroves are one of the few woody ecosystems that grow in hot-arid climates. They can survive extreme conditions of low precipitation, high solar radiation, wide temperature fluctuations and hypersalinity.

Fish use of restored mangroves matches that in natural mangroves regardless of forest age
, 2022 The loss and degradation of mangrove forests have triggered global restoration efforts to support biodiversity and ecosystem services, including fish stock enhancement. As mangrove restoration accelerates, it is important to evaluate outcomes for species

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...
