EWE, S.M.L., and STERNBERG, L.S.L., 2006. Water uptake patterns of an invasive exotic plant in coastal saline habitats. Journal of Coastal Research, 22(0), 000–000. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Schinus) is one of the most widely found woody exotic species in South Florida. This exotic is distributed across environments with different hydrologic regi...

Structural degradation of mangroves through the partial removal trees is globally pervasive and likely to affect ecological functioning, including habitat provisioning for biodiversity. Biodiversity responses will depend on severity degradation, yet few studies have contraste quantified several states. Addressing this knowledge gap, we sampled faunal diversity across a range mangrove forests in...

The declining mangrove cover worldwide highlights the necessity of understanding linkages between ecological and socio-economic dimensions management. This study analyses aspects pole charcoal production systems at Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (MMFR), known as world’s longest managed forest, in Malaysia. We performed a survey to identify roles relationships among stakeholders pole/charcoal sy...

<p>Mangrove forest is one of the natural resources that has potential for protection and conservation nature. Conservation can be defined as a system management sustainable use environment resources. Tanjung Rejo Village, Percut Sei Tuan sub-district coastal areas with mangrove conditions have been damaged. This study aims to identify efforts carried out by people precisely in tourist are...

 SIR-C quad-pol MLC data acquired in 1994 and ALOS PALSAR quad-pol and dual pol SLC data acquired in 2006 and 2007 over several Indian sites have been processed using PolSARpro software for classification of various land features. The land features include ocean, clear water, settlements, agriculture fields, arid lands, grown and young forest, hilly terrain, mangrove forest, etc. Both unsuperv...

The effects of mangrove forests on the flow structure in estuaries have been studied in this paper. An existing two-dimensional depth-integrated mathematical model has been refined to include both the effects of drag force induced by mangrove trees and the blockage effects on the mass fluxes through mangrove forests. To investigate the influence of mangrove trees on the flow structure two ideal...

Mangroves are the tidal forest existing in the intertidal zone and usually considered as the special marine ecosystem. In the present study, 452 actinomycetes were recovered from nine diferent sites at Maowei Sea Mangrove Reserve in Qinzhou (Guangxi province, China). Among them, Seventy-four strains were purified for 16s RNA gene sequencing and further characterization. The results indicated th...

After oxygen, sulfate is the most important oxidant for the oxidation of organic matter in mangrove forest soils. As sulfate reducers are poor competitors for common electron donors, their relative success depends mostly on the surplus of carbon that is left by aerobic organisms due to oxygen depletion. We therefore hypothesized that sulfate-cycling in mangrove soils is influenced by the size o...

Locations and compositions of submarine ground water discharge (SGD), which constitutes sources to coastal zones of low salinity water, terrestrial contaminants, and solutes with concentrations elevated by diagenetic reactions, may be altered in tropical settings where widespread mangrove forests increase salinity of shallow pore waters through evapotranspiration. The red mangrove (Rhizophora m...
