Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, and although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year in ecosystem services and support coastal livelihoods worldwide. Globally, mangrove areas are declining rapidly as they are cleared for coastal development and aquaculture and logged for timber and fuel production...
The identification of species within an ecosystem plays a key role in formulating an inventory for use in the development of conservation management plans. The classification of mangrove species typically involves intensive field surveys, whereas remote sensing techniques represent a cost-efficient means of mapping and monitoring mangrove forests at large scales. However, the coarse spectral re...
Sesarmid crabs are important ecosystem engineers in mangroves because they remove a large proportion of mangrove leaf litter. However, the effects on mangrove sediments of sesarmid crab foraging on mangrove leaves has been poorly quantified. Through a laboratory experiment, the present study aimed to quantify changes in nutrient concentrations and enzyme activities in mangrove sediment due to f...
Pollen analysis on a sediment core from a mangrove area in southeastern Mexico was discussed and aspects of paleoecology, ecology and conservation were considered. The core spans the last 4000 years and evidences changes in a Rhizophora mangle dominated system. Between 3900 and 3500 cal yr BP, pollen data indicate higher levels of precipitation. Between 3600 and 3300 cal yr BP tropical forest n...
Tanjung Kukup is located in the Malacca strait which is an environmental sanctuary as a home to many species of birds and mangrove dwellers like mangrove crabs, beady-eyed mudskippers and crab-eating macaques. In recent years, the number of ships using the strait Mallaca has been increased and higher marine pollution rates have been recorded. The most important pollution in the marine environme...
Using a bioeconomic model of a coral reef-mangrove-seagrass system, we 1 analyze the dynamic path of incentives to achieve an efficient transition to the steady state 2 levels of fish biomass and mangrove habitat conservation. Our model nests different types 3 of species habitat dependency and allows for changes in the extent of habitat to affect the 4 growth rate and the long-run fish level. W...
reforestation is one of the philippines’ government efforts to restore and rehabilitate degraded mangrove ecosystems. although there is recovery of the ecosystem in terms of vegetation, the recovery of closely-linked faunal species in terms of community structure is still understudied. this research investigates the community structure of mangrove crabs under two different management schemes: p...
Mangroves provide valuable ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, pollution filtration, and protection from tsunamis, tropical storms, and coastal erosion. They also supply coastal communities with important natural resources like firewood, medicine, timber, honey, and fodder for livestock. Unfortunately, the world’s mangroves are rapidly degrading due to rising coastal population, ...
The study aimed at determining the in vitro antimicrobial activity of alkaliphilic and halotolerant actinomycetes isolated from a mangrove ecosystem and identification of a potent strain. Twenty five isolates of actinomycetes were isolated from the sediment samples of Valapattanam mangrove swamp in Kerala, India. Antimicrobial activity of four selected actinomycete isolates was determined again...
The plant DNA barcoding is a complex and requires more than one marker(s) as compared to animal barcoding. Mangroves are diverse estuarine ecosystem prevalent in the tropical and subtropical zone, but anthropogenic activity turned them into the vulnerable ecosystem. There is a need to build a molecular reference library of mangrove plant species based on molecular barcode marker along with morp...
