Assessment of anthropogenic disturbances on mangrove aboveground biomass in Malaysian Borneo using airborne LiDAR data

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences
Mangroves are known for their carbon storage capacity, yet they are under immense pressure from human activities. This study assessed anthropogenic disturbances on mangroves’ aboveground biomass (AGB) in northern Borneo, Malaysia, using airborne light ...

Atlas of Ocean Wealth [PDF]

, 2016
The Atlas of Ocean Wealth is the largest collection to date of information about the economic, social and cultural values of coastal and marine habitats from all over the world. It is a synthesis of innovative science, led by The Nature Conservancy (TNC),

Rate of lineage origin explains the diversity anomaly in the World’s mangrove vegetation [PDF]

, 2006
The contribution of nonecological factors to global patterns in diversity is evident when species richness differs between regions with similar habitats and geographic area. Mangrove environments in the Eastern Hemisphere harbor six times as many species

Using physics‐informed neural networks to quantify submarine groundwater discharge under high‐frequency tidal dynamics using heat as a tracer

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating exchange rates of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) at high temporal resolution over extended periods remains challenging, particularly when using heat as a tracer in highly dynamic environments such as tidal systems. Currently available heat transport models struggle to accurately quantify SGD exchange rates in these settings ...

Total alkalinity production in a mangrove ecosystem reveals an overlooked Blue Carbon component

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2021
Mangroves have the capacity to sequester organic carbon (Corg) in their sediments permanently. However, the carbon budget of mangroves is also affected by the total alkalinity (TA) budget.

Rapid Invasion of Spartina Alterniflora in the Coastal Zone of Mainland China: Spatiotemporal Patterns and Human Prevention [PDF]

, 2019
Given the extensive spread and ecological consequences of exotic Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) over the coast of mainland China, monitoring its spatiotemporal invasion patterns is important for the sake of coastal ecosystem management and ...

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades

Oikos, EarlyView.
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Climate change and its risk reduction by mangrove ecosystem of Bangladesh [PDF]

, 2010
Climate change is amongst the most dreaded problems of the new millennium. Bangladesh is a coastal country bounded by Bay of Bengal on its southern part and here natural disasters are an ongoing part of human life.

A global map to aid the identification and screening of critical habitat for marine industries [PDF]

, 2015
Marine industries face a number of risks that necessitate careful analysis prior to making decisions on the siting of operations and facilities. An important emerging regulatory framework on environmental sustainability for business operations is the ...

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...
