The abundance and species richness of mollusc and crab assemblages were examined in a subtropical mangrove forest in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, which has been disturbed and damaged by the construction of a wooden boardwalk and a path. Sections of the forest immediately adjacent to the boardwalk and path were compared with reference areas to determine whether changes to the small-scale ...

mangroves are one of the main important species which have critical function in ecologicalprocesses in the coastal habitats. recent studies have focused on long term effects such as biological andchemical responses and reactions of ecosystems. in this research, short term response of avicennia marina’spneumatophores as one of substantial parts of mangroves has been considered while facing the o...

The siphonophore Nanomia bijuga is a pelagic hydrozoan (Cnidaria) with complex morphological organization. Each siphonophore is made up of many asexually produced, genetically identical zooids that are functionally specialized and morphologically distinct. These zooids predominantly arise by budding in two growth zones, and are arranged in precise patterns. This study describes the cellular ana...

Mangrove plantations can potentially restore the vegetation structures protecting coastal areas. In Avicennia alba in central Thailand, we investigated (trees, seedlings, pneumatophores, and belowground roots), sedimentation rates, elevation changes over one year across shore. The results showed a heterogeneous structure with an increasing tree basal area (BA) seedling density towards interior....

Abstract Peatland plays an important role as the storage of carbon stocks both in soil layer and biomass. The value peatlands is strongly influenced by peatland’s quality potential to produce emissions if natural conditions are disturbed. Revegetation can improve land cover compared succession. success revegetation be seen from survival rate growth performance planted species. purpose this prel...

[1] Arboreal termites are wood decaying organisms that play an important role in the first stages of C cycling in mangrove systems. The chemical composition of Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia germinans, and Laguncularia racemosa leaf, stem, and pneumatophore tissues as well as associated sediments was compared to that of nests of the termite Nasutitermes acajutlae. Nests gave C values of 26.1 to 2...

Coastal building construction is considered risky of abrasion by sea waves. One alternative that can be used as an effort to prevent take advantage pneumatophore and litter the Avicennia marina mangrove. The purpose this study was determine effectiveness for attenuating applied research methods were Transect-squared, Spot-check, Sondani methods. measurement wave data employed SBE 26Plus RBRDuo ...
