However, the future of mangroves does not have to be bleak. Increasing recognition of the importance of mangrove ecosystems for both biodiversity and human well-being is driving efforts around the world to conserve, better manage and restore these ecosystems. Many of these have been successful at...
In recent years, research on medicinal plants has attracted a lot of attention due to their importance and possibility for treatment of human diseases. Mangroves are unique group of vascular plants that occur in saline coastal habitats and are known to tolerate extreme environmental conditions. Some...
Aedes albopictus appeared to exclude largely Ae. aegypti on the granitic islands; however, Ae. aegypti was common on Aldabra, where Ae. albopictus has not been recorded. The notable aggressiveness of mosquitoes towards humans on coralline islands was mainly due to two species, the females of ...
thermal vent ecosystems, kelp forests, mangroves, coral reefs and so on. Although these varied environments support a rich abundance of life, marine biodiversity has received much less attention than its terrestrial counterpart. This may be because the oceans have historically been thought of as regi...

Some ecosystems, such as mangroves, are particularly good at storing carbon and keeping it out of the atmosphere. Forests and wetland ecosystems provide crucial buffers to extreme storms and flooding related to climate change. These ecosystems are complex, which means they function best, and are mo...

Mangroves are commonly salt-tolerant plants that form distinguishing ecosystems and communities to survive in a harsh environment, and mangroves are believed to produce numerous phytochemicals. The genus Avicennia consists of eight species of mangrove trees found in the intertidal zones of estuaries and ...
