Study Number: 1 Author: D. C. Donato, J. B. Kauffman, D. Murdiyarso, S. Kurnianto, M. Stidham & M. Kanninen Abstract: Mangrove forests occur along ocean coastlines throughout the tropics, and support numerous ecosystem services, including fisheries production and nutrient cycling.…
Study Number: 22 Author: J.O. Bosire, F. Dahdouh-Guebas, M. Walton, B.I. Crona, R.R. Lewis III, C. Field, J.G. Kairo and N. Koedam Abstract: Widespread mangrove degradation coupled with the increasing awareness of the importance of these coastal forests have spurred…
Author: E. B. Barbier Abstract: Evidence suggests that the ecological functions underlying many ecosystem goods and services are spatially variable. For coastal systems, a simple model is developed incorporating a spatial production function that declines across an ecological landscape. The…
Author: E. B. Barbier Abstract: The Indian Ocean tsunami disaster of December 2004 has increased interest in replanting degraded and deforested mangrove areas in Asia to improve coastal protection. Evidence from Thailand suggests that concern over mangrove deforestation by shrimp…
Study Number: 39 Author: K. K. Arkema, G. Guannel, G. Verutes, S. A.Wood, A. Guerry, M. Ruckelshaus, P. Kareiva, M. Lacayo & J. M. Silver. Abstract: Extreme weather, sea-level rise and degraded coastal ecosystems are placing people and property at…
Study Number: 55 Author: D. M. Alongi Abstract: This review assesses the degree of resilience of mangrove forests to large, infrequent disturbance (tsunamis) and their role in coastal protection, and to chronic disturbance events and the future of mangroves in…
Study Number: 23 Author: D. M. Alongi Abstract: Mangroves, the only woody halophytes living at the confluence of land and sea, have been heavily used traditionally for food, timber, fuel and medicine, and presently occupy about 181 000 km2 of…
Study Number: 33 Author: K. Zhang, H. Liu, Y. Li, H. Xu, J. Shen, J. Rhome & T. J. Smith III Abstract: Field observations and numerical simulations indicate that the 6-to-30-km-wide mangrove forest along the Gulf Coast of South Florida…
Study Number: 25 Author: K. Warren-Rhodes, A.M. Schwarz, L. NG Boyle, J. Albert, S. S. Agalo, R. Warren, A. Bana, C. Paul, R. Kodosiku, W. Bosma, D. Yee, P. Ronnback, B. Crona and N. Duke Abstract: Mangroves are an imperilled…
Study Number: 63 Author: B. B. Walters Abstract: Historical research has enhanced understanding of past human influences on forests and provides insights that can improve current conservation efforts. This paper presents one of the first detailed studies of mangrove forest…
