and disrupt the oxygen supply to the root system. Where river water has been diverted into irrigation systems, the reduction in freshwater discharge and the resulting elevated salinities may be detrimental; for example, a considerable area of mangrove swamp has been destroyed by diversion of water...
we considered mangrove litterfall and belowground root production as endmembers, using their mean values for source identification. However, it is worth noting that the contribution of autochthonous OC to the sediment may be underestimated in this...
Two mRNA-sequencing libraries were generated from control and salt-treated root samples for the comparative transcriptomic analysis inA.officinalis(Fig.1a). The sequencing and assembly results are summarized in Table1. In total, for the control samples 64.31 and 48.96 million clean reads (replicates ...
The mangrove system is continuously in jeopardy. In recent decades, this vital ecosystem has been facing threats due to reckless and ruthless human interventions and other natural calamities (Table1). This constant interference in mangrove forests has made the system to shrink in an alarming way at...
Mangrove wetlands are coastal ecosystems with important ecological features and provide habitats for diverse microorganisms with key roles in nutrient and biogeochemical cycling. However, the overall metabolic potentials and ecological roles of microbial
Fluorometer (Thermo Scientific) and Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system. Lastly, the libraries were sequenced by Illumina HiSeq 2500 System. Bioinformatics and data analysis The raw data sequences were assigned to samples according to their unique indices. The 16S rDNA primers and indices were then ...
and the intricate root system of mangrove trees also makes these forests attractive for aquatic life and other organisms to seek food and shelter from predators. People benefit from mangrove ecosystems for foods and forest products. Despite their ecological and economic importance, mangrove forests are...
Figure 2. Schematic diagram of the procedures in relating CC to VIs. In this paper the leaf level refers to the CC and hyperspectral response measured at individual leaves. ESU level refers to CC and hyperspectral response averaged at Elementary Sampling Unit level (a plot of 30 m by 30 m...
Figure 5. Statistical diagram of AGB grid frequency of mangrove plant grid. Based on previous studies on mangrove AGB influencing factors, and considering the study area’s characteristics and data collected, we selected 10 factors: plant species, soil organic matter, soil total nitrogen, soil to...
3.3.2. Extraction of the Features of Root Systems Based on the analysis of the elements in the design, the morphological and structural characteristics of the root system of the mangrove plant are extracted and a linear diagram is drawn accordingly. Taking into consideration the experimental propert...
