Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Coastal nutrient enrichments facilitated reproductive output in exotic mangrove species over two decades

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Litterfall may facilitate the outperformance of exotic species by inducing better resource acquisition and reproductive performance. However, the drivers that determine litterfall patterns in exotic and native species have remained insufficiently ...

Evaluating Spatiotemporal Distribution and Interactions of Sediment Grain Sizes With Salinity, Density, and Nutrient Profile in a Subtropical River Watershed

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The southern part of Bangladesh hosts a network of numerous rivers and associated streams (locally known as khal), originating from hilly terrain and transporting diverse sediment grains toward the Bay of Bengal. Despite their ecological and geomorphic significance, the spatiotemporal distribution of sediments and their interactions with key ...

Integrating MaxEnt and PLUS for Predictive Modeling of Mangrove Suitability and Land Use Impacts in Coastal Guangdong, China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study integrates the MaxEnt ecological niche model with the PLUS land use change model to construct a framework for predicting mangrove suitability and simulating future land use dynamics. It evaluates the spatial conflicts between potential mangrove distribution and urban expansion under different scenarios along the coastal areas of Guangdong ...

ORCHIDEE‐MAN: Incorporating Mangrove Processes in the Global Vegetation Model of ORCHIDEE

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The mangrove ecosystem is characterized by high carbon sequestration rates and plays a crucial role for the exchange of carbon between land and ocean. Understanding the carbon dynamics of mangroves under climate change and human disturbances is therefore essential for quantifying their contributions to global carbon cycle.

Mangrove restoration enhances blue carbon sequestration and its stability in a subtropical tidal wetland

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 2437-2451, September 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mangrove forests are among the most productive blue carbon (C) ecosystems. While mangrove restoration is recognized for its potential to increase coastal blue C storage, its effects on soil organic C (SOC) stability and sources remain poorly understood.

Determination of Nutrients, Biomass, and Bacterial Quantification in Different Mangroves Sites: A Comparative Study on Nutrients Dependent Biomass Production

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The present study is hypothesis based that “mangrove biomass depends on the availability of nutrients in the mangrove ecosystem” and a baseline data from the selected locations. This research aligns with the Paris agreement and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 12, 13, 14, and 17.

Worldwide comparison of carbon stocks and fluxes between native and non‐native forests

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1105-1126, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the main challenges that human societies are currently facing. Given that forests represent major natural carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems, administrations worldwide are launching broad‐scale programs to promote forests, including stands of non‐native trees.

Interaction Between Plants Through Litter Input in Mangrove Succession in the Red River Delta

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Is litter decomposition of pioneer species involved in species recruitment by releasing allelochemicals in sediments? Previous studies addressed this question mainly in terrestrial ecosystems, while little is known about coastal wetlands such as mangroves. The present work is the first assessment of the direct effect of mangrove leaf litter addition on
