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

Dinoflagellate responses to nutrients and mangrove leaf organic matter in the bioluminescent Mangrove Lagoon, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. [PDF]
Abstract Bioluminescent bays (biobays) are uncommon coastal ecosystems featuring dense populations of dinoflagellates, often found in mangrove‐ringed lagoons with long water retention times and high organic matter (OM) levels. Although mangroves are associated with high dinoflagellate abundance, it remains uncertain how inorganic nutrients compare with

Inheritance of DNA methylation differences in the mangrove Rhizophora mangle [PDF]
Abstract The capacity to respond to environmental challenges ultimately relies on phenotypic variation which manifests from complex interactions of genetic and non-genetic mechanisms through development. While we know something about genetic variation and structure of many species of conservation importance, we know ...
