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 UN ...
The ecological basis for the economic value of mangrove forests in seafood production[J].Ecological Economics,1999.235-252.Ronnback, P. 1999. The ecological basis for the economic value of mangrove forests in seafood production. Ecological Economics 29, 235-252....
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 ...

There is a zonation of fungi and other organisms along vertical roots, stems, or branches of mangrove trees. Submerged parts are inhabited by marine fungi, algae, balanids, worms, shipworms, and gribbles. Several species of fungi are usually found together on the submerged part of one root,...
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...

Our results did not show the local adaptation of parasitic freshwater mussels to host fish but shed light on one of the least studied factors, providing an empirical underpinning of the importance of pathologically diversified host conditions in the reproductive processes of unionid mussels. 原文传递...
importance of mangroves has been emphasised repeatedly in the past, mangroves were still lost globally between 2000 and 2016 at an average annual rate of 0.13%, with substantial inter-country variation5. Mangroves are expected to decline further due to various interconnected drivers including ...
