Pichavaram Mangrove ForestSalinitySediment ProfileThis study examined the variability in salinity, colour, and texture in five sediment cores taken from three sites near Avicennia mangle and two sites beneath the fringing Rhizophora zone in the Pichavaram mangrove forest in Tamil Nadu. The results ...
Monitoring mangrove forest dynamics of the Sundarbans in Bangladesh and India using multi-temporal satellite data from 1973 to 2000 Mangrove forests in many parts of the world are declining at an alarming rate - possibly even more rapidly than inland tropical forests. The rate and cause... Giri...
Mangrove forest represents a highly specialized and complex ecosystem occurring in sheltered coastal areas of tropics and sub-tropics. Among the many ecosystems, the mangrove forests are unique due to the edaphic and climatic factors as ... E Ragupathy,R Jesudasan - 《Indian Forester》 被引量:...
Remote Sensing and GIS techniques were used to evaluate the vegetation density of mangrove forest in this area. The LISS IV satelliteimage was used to map the mangrove forest using visual interpretation technique. Mangroves were delineated from the inland forest cover and other land cover features....
Foliar fungus was isolated from the leaves of Rhizophora mucronata collected from Pichavaram mangrove forest, Tamilnadu. Extracts from liquid state culture were tested for cytotoxicity against two cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. Antibacterial activity was determined using the well diffusion ...
is a critically endangered mangrove tree from the Pichavaram mangrove reserve forest, the Tamil Nadu Coastal area. It is distributed on the seashore and the edge-mangrove. In order to reduce the decrease in number of these Mediterranean mixed stand, unsupervised forest management practices have ...
species richness in any given mangrove forest is tightly correlated with available area Patterns of nestedness at the community and species-level both point towards three independent regions of diversification of mangrove ecosystems: South-east Asia, the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and the Indian Oce...
Plant species diversity and tree population structure of a humid tropical forest in Tamil Nadu, India Vegetation structure and species composition of tropical ecosystems were studied through nine transects at Veerapuli and Kalamalai reserve forests in the W... PS Swamy,SM Sundarapandian,PC ...
The mangrove forest, consisting of trees and shrubs, creates its ecosystem, being a dominant feature and primary producer. Also known as mangal where its substratum is influenced by the tidal waters, it is considered as the ‘rainforest of the sea’ [2,3]. Many of these plants are not on...
Polychaetes, gastropods, and crustaceans are regarded to be the major macrobenthic organisms in the mangrove sediment. The distribution of macrobenthos may vary from habitat to habitat within the same mangrove forest. For example, a study carried out by Ellison [10] revealed that the density and...
