Linking Soil Properties to Mangrove Structural Parameters Across a Disturbance Gradient in the Northern Veracruz, Mexico. [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Mangrove composition and structure vary with soil properties and alterations in these conditions may result in forest degradation. This study examines how soil properties relate to mangrove structure across three disturbance states. The study was conducted within the Ramsar Site 1602 in Veracruz, Mexico.

Modulatory Effect of Polyphenolic Compounds from the Mangrove Tree Rhizophora mangle L. on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Insulin Resistance in High-Fat Diet Obese Mice [PDF]

Molecules, 2018
No scientific report proves the action of the phytochemicals from the mangrove tree Rhizophora mangle in the treatment of diabetes. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effects of the acetonic extract of R. mangle barks (AERM) on type 2 diabetes.

Isolation of Microsatellite Markers for the Red Mangrove, Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae) [PDF]

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2013
Premise of the study: Three species of the mangrove tree genus Rhizophora are found in the New World and along the west coast of Africa. Of these, R. mangle is the most abundant and has a complex interbreeding relationship with the sympatric R.

Effects of wood density on mechanical properties of mangrove wood from the Amazon coast. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Mangrove forests are essential on the Amazon coast, as local communities widely use their wood. However, it is still necessary to understand the mechanical properties of wood typical of mangroves.

21st-Century Mangrove Expansion Along the Southeastern United States. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Global warming is driving poleward range shifts worldwide, including the northward expansion of tropical mangroves along the Atlantic coast of North America. In this region, warming winters are enabling mangroves to encroach into salt marsh–dominated temperate latitudes, potentially transforming wetland ecosystem function and services. To assess future
