Key message This review gives a comprehensive overview of adaptations of mangrove root system to the adverse environmental conditions and summarizes the ecological importance of mangrove root to the ecosystem. Abstract In plants, the first line of defense against abiotic stress is in their roots. If...

Mangrove restoration has become a popular strategy to ensure the critical functions and economic benefits of this ecosystem. This study conducts a meta-analysis of the peer-reviewed literature on the outcomes of mangrove restoration. On aggregate, restored mangroves provide higher ecosystem functions than...
I document here the importance of assessing the existing hydrology of natural extant mangrove ecosystems, and applying this knowledge to first protect existing mangroves, and second to achieve successful and cost-effective ecological restoration, if needed. Previous research has documented the general ...

Mangrove forests are of critical importance to coastal ecosystems since their complex root systems hold the soil together and prevent erosion caused by winds, waves and floods, while their dense leaves provide feeding and nesting sites for various species of marine and terrestrial organisms. ...
The ecology of mangrove conservation & management Despite the recent better understanding and awareness of the role of mangroves, these coastal forest communities continue to be destroyed or degraded (or e... O Jin-Eong - 《Hydrobiologia》 被引量: 353发表: 1995年 Forensic DNA profiling of ...
with patches of mangrove forests swaying with the sea breeze and rustling leaves... With the unremitting efforts of the builders of CCCC First Highway Fourth Company, the meandering distribution of mangrove forests is perfectly embedded on the 5.3 kilometer bank of the Jingu River, becoming the ...
The similarity of requirements dictates that these species be found together, but interactions between the species are of secondary importance and the level of organization is low. On the other hand, there are those who conceive of the community as a highly organized, holistic entity, with ...
This opinion piece, written by ethnobiologists from different parts of the world, emphasizes the importance of ethnobiology research in advancing contemporary biology, natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and, especially, contributing to the ecological transition and ...
