Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

Performance-Based Design Methodology for Nature-Based Solutions: Using Mangroves to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

open access: yesASCE Open
In this study, a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of nature-based solutions (NbS) is developed and applied to mangroves to mitigate wave overtopping.

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

Understanding mangrove conservation through metaphors in ecological discourse: An ecolinguistics study

open access: yesStudies in English Language and Education
Metaphor is deeply pervasive in human life. It is not only used in aesthetic or literary languages but also in everyday colloquial speech. This study aims to investigate conceptual metaphor in ecological discourse related to mangrove conservation on the ...

Mapping of mangrove forest land cover change along the Kenya coastline using Landsat imagery

open access: yes, 2013
Mangroves in Kenya provide a wide range of valuable services to coastal communities despite their relatively small total area. Studies at single sites show reductions in extent and quality caused by extraction for fuel wood and timber and clearance for ...

Vulnerability to Dams of the Last Undammed Large Rivers of Southeast Asia

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vast majority of large Eurasian rivers are regulated by hydropower dams, but some have survived as free‐flowing rivers so far in the Arctic and along stretches of the Myanmar coast. There, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Salween Rivers, two of the largest rivers of Southeast Asia, provide a huge amount of sediment, nurturing floodplains and

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Extended Benefit-Cost Analysis of Management Alternatives: Pagbilao Mangrove Forest [PDF]

open access: yes
Mangroves are important fish hatcheries. It prevents coastal erosion and provides timber resources. However, it limits land access to coastal and fishpond areas. This article presents a cost-benefit analysis on mangrove preservation.natural resources and
