the increase in the frequency of short drought events, although their NDVI decreased when these drought events became longer. Drought events were related to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) anomalies that had the strongest effects on coastal vegetation and ...
The impact of these changes on the phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity in estuarine waters was investigated during the pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Dissolved inorganic nutrients, such as nitrite, nitrate, ammonia, phosphate and silicate, displayed wide seasonal variability ...
“I’m watching the degradation of the environment,” said biologist Dr. Cassander Titley-O’Neal, director of the National Parks Trust, adding that destroying mangroves also damages coral, sea grass and other underwater ecosystems in ways that often go unnoticed. “What you’re seeing on land...
Additionally, successful afforestation actions often convert habitats with inherent value (mudflats, seagrasses) to another habitat—herein, mangroves—with the previous habitat types having its own but not overlapping cadre of values10,43. The necessity of converting one valuable habitat into another ha...
On the other hand, Spalding defined mangroves as “trees or large shrubs including ferns and palms growing in or adjacent to intertidal regions which can easily adapt themselves in their environment” (Spalding et al., 2010). However, these definitions sound paradoxical since many other plants ...
Coastal urbanization is a key driver of mangrove loss, yet its global impacts on mangroves have yet to be thoroughly understood. Here we present a fine-scale assessment of the hidden impacts of urbanization on mangroves mediated by climate, and the joint
In April, thousands of locals demonstrated against the power plant, fearing its impact on the environment and their livelihoods. In 2014, a boat spilt thousands of gallons of oil into a neighbouring forest. Inhabitants were forced to use spoons, pots and sponges to clean up the sludge. ...

“Green Credit” means a singular unit of an incentive provided for a specified activity, delivering a positive impact on the environment; (d) “Registry” means the Green Credit Registry established under rule 10. (2) Words and expressions used in these rules and not defined herein but define...
1b. This module can enhance the network’s ability to focus on mangrove multiscale tree species targets with minimal computational cost to effectively address the morphological similarity of mangrove forests and the complexity of the environment, improve the recognition accuracy for mangrove tree ...
