Mangrove wetlands possess four important characteristics as one of the unique marine
ecosystems, and are found in the intertidal coastal regions of the tropics and subtropics in …

The world's nations are committed to keeping global temperature rises to less than 2° C to
avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Such a target is crucial for mangrove forests …

Inter-related and spatially variable climate change factors including sea level rise, increased
storminess, altered precipitation regime and increasing temperature are impacting …

Mangroves are among the most well described and widely studied wetland communities in
the world. The greatest threats to mangrove persistence are deforestation and other …

Mangroves occur on upper intertidal shorelines in the tropics and subtropics. Complex
hydrodynamic and salinity conditions, related primarily to elevation and hydroperiod …

Background Many mangrove ecosystems are periodically exposed to high velocity winds
and surge from tropical cyclones, and often recover with time and continue to provide …

Integration of mangroves in projects to reduce coastal flood risk is increasingly being
recognised as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative. In addition to the construction of …

The cycling of essential nutrients is central to mangrove productivity. A mass balance shows
that mangroves rely on soil ammonification, nitrification, and dissimilatory reduction to …

Mangroves are one of the few woody ecosystems that grow in hot-arid climates. They can
survive extreme conditions of low precipitation, high solar radiation, wide temperature …

Despite the ubiquity of tropical cyclones and their impacts on forests, little is known about
how tropical cyclone regimes shape the ecology and evolution of tree species. We used a …
