Nutrient Addition Differentially Affects Ecological Processes of Avicennia germinans in Nitrogen versus Phosphorus Limited Mangrove Ecosystems
Nutrient over-enrichment is a major threat to marine environments, but system-specific attributes of coastal ecosystems may result in differences in their sensitivity and susceptibility to eutrophication. We u...

Soil Respiration and Belowground Carbon Allocation in Mangrove Forests
Mangrove forests cover large areas of tropical and subtropical coastlines. They provide a wide range of ecosystem services that includes carbon storage in above- and below ground biomass and in soils. Carbon d...

Mangrove Forest and Soil Development on a Rapidly Accreting Shore in New Zealand
Mangrove forests are rapidly expanding their distribution in New Zealand, which is at the southern limit of their range. We investigated how these expanding mangrove forests develop through time. We assessed p...

Carbon and nutrient exchange of mangrove forests with the coastal ocean
Mangrove forests exchange materials with the coastal ocean through tidal inundation. In this study, we aim to provide an overview of the published data of carbon (C) and nutrient exchange of mangrove forests w...

The Role of Surface and Subsurface Processes in Kee** Pace with Sea Level Rise in Intertidal Wetlands of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia
Increases in the elevation of the soil surfaces of mangroves and salt marshes are key to the maintenance of these habitats with accelerating sea level rise. Understanding the processes that give rise to increa...

Sensitivity of dissolved organic carbon exchange and sediment bacteria to water quality in mangrove forests
Poor water quality affects the biogeochemistry functions and the biological community structure of coastal ecosystems. In this study we investigated the effect of water quality on: (a) The exchange of dissolve...

Latitudinal Patterns of Herbivory in Mangrove Forests: Consequences of Nutrient Over-Enrichment
Ecosystems in the tropics are predicted to have stronger responses to nutrient enrichment, greater diversity, and more intense biotic interactions than in temperate areas. Mangrove forests, which occur across ...

Assessment of vegetation and soil conditions in restored mangroves interrupted by severe tropical typhoon ‘Chan-hom’ in the Philippines
Using a space-for-time substitution approach, we investigated the effects of a typhoon on the vegetation and soil development trajectories of monospecific stands of Rhizophora mucronata mangroves of different age...

The use of fresh and saline water sources by the mangrove Avicennia marina
Mangroves are distributed along tropical and subtropical riverine and coastal shores. Although mangroves are highly adapted to saline environments, maintaining water uptake under saline conditions is energetic...

Isotopic signatures of stem water reveal differences in water sources accessed by mangrove tree species
Mangrove trees are rooted in saline soils which can limit their growth. Access to alternative, less saline water sources may provide important water subsidies. We assessed the hydrogen and oxygen isotopic sign...

Global ecological impacts of marine exotic species
Exotic species are a growing global ecological threat; however, their overall effects are insufficiently understood. While some exotic species are implicated in many species extinctions, others can provide ben...

Natural and Regenerated Saltmarshes Exhibit Similar Soil and Belowground Organic Carbon Stocks, Root Production and Soil Respiration
Saltmarshes provide many valuable ecosystem services including storage of a large amount of ‘blue carbon’ within their soils. To date, up to 50% of the world’s saltmarshes have been lost or severely degraded p...

Losses of Soil Organic Carbon with Deforestation in Mangroves of Madagascar
Global mangrove deforestation has resulted in substantial CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, but the extent of emissions from soil organic carbon (C) loss remains difficult to assess. Here, we sampled five intact a...

Open AccessPandanus nutshell generates a palaeoprecipitation record for human occupation at Madjedbebe, northern Australia
Little is known about the Pleistocene climatic context of northern Australia at the time of early human settlement. Here we generate a palaeoprecipitation proxy using stable carbon isotope analysis of modern a...

Challenges and opportunities for achieving Sustainable Development Goals through restoration of Indonesia’s mangroves
Indonesia, the most mangrove-rich nation in the world, has proposed the most globally ambitious mangrove rehabilitation target (600,000 ha) of any nation, to be achieved by 2024 to support multiple Sustainable...

Nitrogen Addition Increases Freeze Resistance in Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) Shrubs in a Temperate-Tropical Ecotone
Low temperature stress is the primary factor determining the latitudinal limits of tropical plants. As the climate warms, tropical species are migrating poleward, displacing native species and modifying ecosys...
