The tropical and subtropical coastal plains are known for harboring mangroves, which represent one of the most remarkable and distinctive ecosystems globally. These ecosystems are formed through the mutual interaction between emergent land plants and sediment microbiomes. The...
In this section is presented the overall mangrove metabolism reconstruction based on previous studies, which is illustrated in Fig.2(A-H letters represent guides for a better interpretation of the metabolic flow described in the text below). A total of 3644 KOs were annotated for the 11 ETDI ...
These represent the extent of published sap flow data that provided both individual tree water use and dbh from mangroves (numerically); e.g., we could not extract specific individual tree water use versus dbh from a Moreton Bay (Australia) study site62, south Florida study site63, ...
26,27,28,29, with our types, deltaic, estuarine, lagoonal, and open coast mangroves, comparable to previous typological classes (Table1). Our efforts represent the first attempt to map a mangrove biophysical typology beyond individual case study areas. To map the...
2A.2.1 represent the study site in which sampling plots of 10 m × 5 m were considered for each station. Care was taken to collect the samples within the same distance from the estuarine edge, tidal creeks and the same micro-topography. Under such conditions, spatial variability of ...

In hydrodynamic models, vegetation is commonly approximated as an array of vertical cylinders to represent its impacts on flow and sediment transport. However, this simple approximation may not be valid in the case of Rhizophora mangroves that have complicated three-dimensiona...
measure salinity at each vegetation plot. The plot-level salinity was obtained by a spatial interpolation of salinity measurements at 32 locations, which were randomly distributed in the same area as our vegetation plots. Although the spatial interpolation gave a good accuracy the small bias due to...
This trend may represent a stronger dependence of poorer, therefore more vulnerable, populations on natural infrastructure for storm protection. In such a case, we might expect migration to such areas following a large storm exposure event in lower middle-income countries. However, for upper middle...
Orthoptera, Psocodea, and Trichoptera. In some cases, we used broader categories that could be communicated to the parataxonomists but did not represent formal taxa (“other acalyptrates”). All subsequent barcoding used these subsamples as sampling units. Overall, the samples were typical for ...
