Y.Zong, inEncyclopedia of Quaternary Science (Second Edition), 2013 Mangrove Mangroveswamps or forests occur in almost the same climate zone as coral, that is, between the 30°N and 30°S parallels (Figure 1). While corals enjoy living in clear water, mangroves prefer coastal sites where th...
The global mangrove map26 is freely available at http://data.unep-wcmc.org/datasets/4. The tropical cyclone and SSS data are available from NOAA archives https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.ncdc:C00834 (https://doi.org/10.7289/V5NK3BZP) and https://podaac.jpl.nasa....
Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) ID images from 1998 and 2005 were analyzed for mangrove vegetation differences before and after the tsunami period and a map was created. Based on these images it was concluded that a large number of mangroves were affected around Port Blair in the range of 66 ...

was handled and went as promised. I was extremely impressed by Agora. Because this was our first time in India, it would have been extremely challenging to arrange these trips on our own. I would use Agora Voyages again and would recommend them to ...
The sampled sites are characterized by semi-diurnal tides and strong currents. Comprehensive field measurements were made under different climatic conditions—post-monsoon (October 2010), winter (February 2011) and monsoon (August 2011)—and at different tidal cycles.

1), within 0.013° S – 0.35° N and 9.3°–9.96° E, comprising approximately 96,302 ha (Ramsar Sites Information Service, 2015). The estuary receives water from the Komo and Ebe Rivers, and drains westerly into the Gulf of Guinea, Atlantic Ocean. The estuary is characterized as ...
Mangrove soils represent a large sink for otherwise rapidly recycled carbon (C). However, widespread deforestation threatens the preservation of this important C stock. It is therefore imperative that global patterns in mangrove soil C stocks and their susceptibility to remineralization are understood. ...
