Although studies on species-level classification and mapping using multisource data machine learning approaches are plenty, the use of with ideal placement central wavelength bandwidth at appropriate spatial resolution, for mangrove species is underreported. The composition a forest has been estimated utilising red-edge spectral bands chlorophyll absorption information from AVIRIS-NG Sentinel-2...

In recent times, environmental stewardship of mangroves has provided the impetus to protect and restore these ecosystems for their inherent ability coastal regions from climate change, sequester carbon dioxide as rich blue carbon, support human well-being through a multitude ecosystem services. Participatory stakeholder assessment, part present study, integrated local perspectives in assessing ...

Abstract Mangrove habitats play a vital role in balancing the coastal ecosystems by providing an array of provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting ecosystem services. Despite several conservation measures taken to protect mangroves, they have been facing economic, socio-environmental, climatic threats. There is need quantify mangroves' services (ES), especially developing under-develo...

Conversion of mangrove vegetation into rice cultivation is considerably enhanced nowadays which adversely affects ecological sustainability. Soil microbial community one the key indicators to monitor soil health in mangroves. Studies on variations within mangroves are plenty, whereas reports mangrove-converted paddy soils scarce. Therefore, Biolog ® eco-plate-based technique was used this study...

Mangroves found in the intertidal zone are considered as a very productive area with high rates of organic carbon accumulation due to the presence of highly diverse marine and terrestrial flora, fauna including microbes. Organic carbon concentration and composition are closely linked to the biogeochemistry of the substrate, which occurs on the earth surface and in deep-sea sediments in various ...

Analysis of karyotype, nuclear DNA content and RAPD markers were performed in four species of Bruguiera (Rhizophoraceae) of Bhitarkanika mangrove forests, Orissa, India. Detailed karyotype analysis revealing 2n=34 in B. cylindrica and 2n=36 in B. gymnorrhiza was reported for the first time and 2n=34 in B. parviflora and B. sexangula was confirmed. On the basis of the common types of chromosomes...

Dhamra estuarine ecosystem is a hotspot of rich biological diversity which supports a patch of mangrove along with unique flora and fauna. In this study, the diversity of phytoplankton population and other factors that control their growth and biodiversity were investigated. The samples were collected monthly from Dhamra estuary of Bay of Bengal at 6 different stations (grouped under three regi...
