June 21, 2022 Researchers have developed a model that can estimate the productivity of mangrove forests at large scales. A remote sensing-based productivity model that considered the effects of tidal inundation ...
Feb. 22, 2024 The annual rate of carbon emissions due to the degradation of carbon stocks in mangrove forests is predicted to rise by nearly 50,000% by the end of the century, according to a new study. Mangroves ...
Oct. 31, 2022 New research into the drivers of mangrove loss over the past 20 years has revealed that most of the degradation can be attributed to socio-economic and biophysical factors, with mangrove cover ...
Nov. 15, 2023 Clearing mangroves to stop estuaries getting clogged with mud actually makes the problem worse, new research ...
June 23, 2022 Mangrove forests play a vital role in the health of our planet. The trees and shrubs absorb a substantial amount of greenhouse gas emissions, help protect communities from rising sea levels, and act ...
Oct. 12, 2021 In the face of declining fisheries, threatened reef habitat, and changing climatic conditions, non-native mangroves may provide, rather than impede, zooplankton habitat availability in novel ...
Dec. 6, 2021 Due to their pronounced carbon storage capacity, mangroves are an important player in climate change. But they sometimes just don't extend beyond certain latitudes, even when the sites seem ...
July 29, 2021 Researchers compiled a dataset of 209 crustacean and 155 mollusk species from 16 mangrove forests around the world. They found that mangroves, when compared with other ecosystems, are among those ...
Aug. 24, 2022 By using techniques from both genetics and oceanography, researchers have found that the mangrove populations in the Ryukyu Islands are relatively isolated from one another, which has implications ...
Sep. 16, 2022 Researchers have identified a new reason to protect mangrove forests: they've been quietly keeping carbon out of Earth's atmosphere for the past 5,000 ...
