The mangrove food web exhibited four trophic levels, a wide consumer d 13 C range (* 10%), consumer dependence on different carbon sources (mangroves-detritus, microphytobenthos, macroalgae, planktonic sources), and a wide consumer isotopic niche with little overlap. According to MixSiar analyses...
The main objective of this study is to describe and compare the fish community structure and food web dynamics of mangrove and non-mangrove intertidal creeks in a low-rainfall system in Qeshm Island, Persian Gulf, Northern Indian Ocean (26.8°N, 55.75°E). Therefore, this thesis addresses ...
N2fixation was one of the most dominant pathways compared to other N-cycling processes associated with fiddler crab microbiota, suggesting that this characteristic benthic invertebrate has a potentially relevant role in mangrove ecosystems as a vector of newly fixed N to the surrounding environment. The...
This is reflected in great differences in food web structure and the amount and type of resources produced in both systems. In the Gulf of Nicoya, detritus matter exported from the mangroves to the estuary feeds an aquatic food web with shrimps and other aquatic detritivores in the centre of...

[1]. Although plant species diversity is low in mangrove forests, they play an essential role in protecting coastal communities from hurricanes, retarding tidal transgression, supporting the coastal food web, purifying seawater, and sequestering carbon [2]. Despite their importance, however, mangrove ...
This suggests that even within the same type of mangrove species, LMA can be influenced by factors such as the structure of mangrove canopies. This finding is consistent with the spectral response of dry matter content, whereas EWT is less affected by such factors. We also discovered that when...

After a detailed literature review and field knowledge, we considered 36 variables from 6 different parameters for the present study. The data source, data structure, spatial resolution, and references of the data have been provided in Appendix1. All the raster variables were re-sampled into 1 ...
