Hydrological Classification, a Practical Tool for Mangrove Restoration.
Mangrove restoration projects, aimed at restoring important values of mangrove forests after degradation, often fail because hydrological conditions are disregarded. We present a simple, but robust methodology to determine hydrological suitability for mangrove species, which can guide restoration practice. In 15 natural and 8 disturbed sites (i.e. disused shrimp ponds) in three case study regio...
متن کاملRestoration of Ailing Wetlands
It is widely held that humankind's destructive tendencies when exploiting natural resources leads to irreparable harm to the environment. Yet, this thinking runs counter to evidence that many ecological systems damaged by severe natural environmental disturbances (e.g., hurricanes) can restore themselves via processes of natural recovery. The emerging field of restoration ecology is capitalizin...
متن کاملIntegrating Wetlands and Riparian Zones in Regional Hydrological Modeling
Wetlands, and in particular riparian wetlands, are at the interface between well drained land and the aquatic environment, where they control the exchange of water and related chemical fluxes from catchment areas to surface waters like lakes and streams. Integrating wetlands and riparian zones in regional hydrological modeling is challenging because of the complex interactions between soil wate...
متن کاملMonitoring Spatial Changes of Mangrove Wetlands Using Aerial Images
An essential type of information for effective management strategies of the wetlands is their spatial extent and their spatial changes over time. In this regard, satellite images are typically adopted as the source for measurements. However, certain circumstances dictate the search for alternatives. In a small developing country, limited financial and technical resources would have major influe...
