Changes in soil organic matter content and quality in Amazonian mangrove forests converted to shrimp farms

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science
Mangroves are highly efficient carbon sinks, yet they are increasingly threatened by aquaculture expansion. Moreover, the long-term impacts of shrimp farming on soil organic matter (SOM) quality and carbon sequestration in Amazonian mangroves remain ...

Tidal dynamics and mangrove carbon sequestration during the Oligo–Miocene in the South China Sea

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Mangroves are important carbon-rich biomes, but their long-term impact on the global carbon cycle is relatively unknown. Here, the authors show that the Oligo–Miocene mangroves in the South China Sea stored in excess of 4,000 Gt, demonstrating the long ...

Use of mangroves for aquaculture: Myanmar. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Aquaculture has only started to develop rapidly in the past few decades, due to better knowledge of culture species, improved methodologies and techniques in breeding, nutrition and increasing demand for food fish of high-value species such as shrimps ...

Long unobserved and recently discovered: towards a better understanding of protected‐area species dynamics using curated species lists

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Protected areas are designed to shield populations from harmful human impacts. However, in the face of global climate change, a static approach to conservation within these areas is neither feasible nor desirable. One key measure of ecological change at this scale is the arrival of new species and the local extinction of others. Despite strong interest

Simulating potential impacts of climate change on the habitats and carbon benefits of mangroves in China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Mangroves are among the most carbon-rich ecosystems in the world. However, they have experienced widespread loss due to climate change and have been reclaimed for coastal cropland and aquaculture ponds.

Optimally Carbonized Mangrove Wood–Derived Hard Carbon with a Soft Carbon Coating for High‐Performance Sodium‐Ion Battery Anodes

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
High‐performance SIB anodes are developed using mangrove wood–derived hard carbon, optimized through controlled carbonization temperatures and pitch‐derived soft carbon coatings. The resulting PC‐10 composite achieves a superior reversible capacity of 297.5 mAh g−1 and an 82% ICE by suppressing irreversible reactions and enhancing interfacial stability

Verification of semi-intensive shrimp culture techniques: Vietnam. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Vietnam has about 260,000 ha devoted for shrimp culture in early 1999. The total production was estimated at about 80,000 tons in 2000, so that productivity was about 300 kg/ha only.

Flow routing in mangrove forests: field data obtained in Trang, Thailand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mangroves grow in the intertidal parts of sheltered tropical coastlines, facilitating coastal stabilization and wave attenuation. Mangroves are widely threatened nowadays, although past studies have indicated their contribution to coastal safety. Most of

Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...
