Salt balance in mangroves.
The tidal zone of tropical seas is frequently lined with great mangrove forests, the dominating species of which belong to such genera as Rhizophora, Bruguiera, Sonneratia, and Avicennia. The outstanding feature of these plants is their adaptation to growing in seawater, and even though all do well in river estuaries they seldom penetrate inland beyond the direct action of ocean tides. A questi...
متن کاملHow Mangroves Salinize the Soil How Mangroves Salinize the Soil
A transient one-dimensional model of the vertical movement of water and salt in the mangrove root zone is investigated. This is an extension of a previous steady state model which assumed that the ability of the mangrove roots to take up water is uniformly distributed throughout the soil and that the root water uptake is reduced if there is nonzero salt concentration around the roots. We show h...
متن کاملMangroves as a major source of soil carbon storage in adjacent seagrass meadows
Mangrove forests have the potential to export carbon to adjacent ecosystems but whether mangrove-derived organic carbon (OC) would enhance the soil OC storage in seagrass meadows adjacent to mangroves is unclear. In this study we examine the potential for the contribution of mangrove OC to seagrass soils on the coast of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. We found that seagrass meadows adjacent to mangr...
متن کاملStorage and Evolution of Mafic and Intermediate Alkaline Magmas beneath Ross Island, Antarctica
We present the results of phase equilibrium experiments carried out on basanite and phonotephrite lavas from Ross Island, Antarctica. Experiments were designed to reproduce the P–T–X–fO2 conditions of deep and intermediate magma storage and to place constraints on the differentiation of each of the two predominant lava suites on the island, which are thought to be derived from a common parent m...
متن کاملHow Mangroves Salinize the Soil
We consider both stationary and time dependent versions of a model describing the vertical movement of water and salt in a porous medium in which a continuous extraction of water takes place (by the roots of mangroves). The problem is formulated in terms of a coupled system of partial diierential equations for the salt concentration and the water ow which generalizes previous models. We study t...
