Understanding the interconnectivity of organisms among different habitats is a key requirement for generating effective management plans in coastal ecosystems, particularly when determining component habitat structures in marine protected areas. To eluci
and other species extensively damage seafloor structures and living communities. To catch fish from coral reefs, where nets are impractical, fishers often use explosives or cyanide that fragment or poison corals. In the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada, intensive deforestation and wat...
We synthesised various perspectives on the importance of mangrove conservation for enhancing climate resiliency by: (1) describing the climate-related hazards that affect local communities and mangroves; (2) describing socio-institutional structures influencing effective mangrove conservation and local ...
marina, which have relatively low biomass and they have different structures in comparison with those in the QPR. The combination of the field plots and LiDAR sampling data from the two reserves could cover more of variations in mangrove forest biomass in this region. This condition also explains...
Towards this, we performed RNA-seq on the gill tissue of S. serrata individuals sampled from 3 sites (Cagayan, Bicol, and Bataan) in the Philippines, under normal and heat-stressed conditions. To compare the transcriptome expression profiles, we designed a 2-factor generalized linear model ...
The pre-requisite for mangrove rehabilitation in erosion sites has successfully been put in place: breakwaters made from bamboo have reduced erosion and stimulated sedimentation. The design and construction of the wave-breaking structures, which was based on a numerical model which simulates ...
Furthermore, mean slope of slope was used to check for more vegetated fish ponds since fishponds with tall vegetative structures inside them would have higher mean elevation values. A Euclidean distance process was also applied on the mangroves in the area in order to check which of the ...
The global scientific community unequivocally accepts the significance of mangroves in offsetting anthropogenic carbon emissions. This unique vegetation sequesters disproportionately high carbon than many other natural ecosystems, and the countries borde
We synthesised various perspectives on the importance of mangrove conservation for enhancing climate resiliency by: (1) describing the climate-related hazards that affect local communities and man- groves; (2) describing socio-institutional structures influencing effective mangrove conservation and local ...
This paper presents MaDS (Mangrove species Dominance Simulator), an agent-based model that simulates the structures of mixed mangrove forest stands by considering specific responses of mangrove species to shading, salinity, and inundation frequencies. By simulating certain inundation and salinity ...
