The loss and degradation of mangrove forests have triggered global restoration efforts to support biodiversity ecosystem services, including fish stock enhancement. As accelerates, it is important evaluate outcomes for species that play functional roles in ecosystems yet this remains a clear knowledge gap. There remarkably little information, example, about how use mangroves varies as restored ...

Simplicial complexes are extensively used for discretizing digital shapes in two, three, and higher dimensions within a variety of application domains. There have been many proposals of topological data structures, which represent the connectivity information among simplices. We introduce the Mangrove Topological Data Structure (Mangrove TDS) framework, a tool which supports the efficient imple...

Mangroves have long been associated with human populations, as coastal communities rely on the various ecosystem services that mangroves provide. However, degradation and destruction of mangrove forests is common, despite because our reliance them valuable ecosystems. Mangrove research management must elucidate reconcile these conflicts to maintain humans depend on. To better understand complex...

Understanding the dynamics of mangroves at the species level is the key for securing sustainable conservation of mangrove forests around the globe. This study demonstrates the capability of the hyper-dimensional remote sensing data for discriminating diversely-populated tropical mangrove species. It was found that five different tropical mangrove species of Southern Thailand, including Avicenni...

This is a commentary on a paper by Gilbert and Janssen (Gilbert, A.J., Janssen, R., 1998. Ecol. Econ. 25, 323–346) that deals with valuation of management alternatives for the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines. Our main critique focuses on the undervaluation of fisheries as well as the inability to quantify the value of ecological services and internalize aquaculture’s environmental costs. In add...

The responses of dwarf black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) and components of the microbial community to the addition of nitrate over a 2-year period were examined. The field study was conducted in the Indian River Lagoon (Florida) in a mangrove-dominated impoundment that was established for purposes of mosquito control. The responses of mangroves to the regular addition of nitrate were insign...

Sesarmid crabs are reported to dominate the Indo West-Pacific mangroves and consume huge amounts of mangrove leaves and detritus. Neosarmatium trispinosum Davie (1994) is common in the landward mangroves of the Ryukyu Islands in southern Japan. Stomach contents of the crabs collected from Okinawa, Miyako and Iriomote Islands showed that their diet consisted of mainly mangrove leaves with small ...

Freezing point depression in xylem sap of mangroves was found to range from 0.05 to 0.5 degrees , in desert plants from 0.01 to 0.16 degrees . In crush juices from leaves of Batis and Salicornia, 90% or more of the freezing point depression was made up of sodium and chlorine ions; in mangroves they constituted 50 to 70%, the rest probably being organic solutes. Plants growing in seawater have -...
