Mangroves are defined by the presence of trees that mainly occur in the intertidal zone,
between land and sea, in the (sub) tropics. The intertidal zone is characterised by highly …

Our current knowledge on production, composition, transport, pathways and transformations
of organic carbon in tropical mangrove environments is reviewed and discussed. Organic …

Deforestation results in habitat fragmentation, decreasing diversity, and functional
degradation. For mangroves, no data are available on the impact of deforestation on the …

In contrast to the large number of studies on the trophic significance of mangrove primary
production to the aquatic foodweb, there have been few attempts to provide an overview of …

The structure and regeneration patterns of Mida Creek mangrove vegetation were studied
along belt transects at 2 forest sites of Mida Creek (3° 20′ S, 40° 00′ E): Uyombo and …

Sesarmid crabs dominate Indo West-Pacific mangroves, and consume large amounts of
mangrove litter. This is surprising, since mangrove leaves have high tannin contents and …

Mangrove epifaunal communities have access to various carbon and nitrogen sources and
we hypothesized that the degree of material exchange with the aquatic environment might …

The main objective of this study was to assess how mangrove reforestation has influenced
litter degradation and concomitant nutrient dynamics in previously deforested plantations …

Food preferences, consumption rates and dietary assimilation related to food quality were
investigated for the large semi-terrestrial and litter-consuming mangrove crab Ucides …

Recolonisation by crab species and sediment-infauna taxa (at class level) in artificially
regenerated mangrove stands of Avicennia marina, Rhizophora mucronata and Sonneratia …
