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

We review 72 published articles to elucidate characteristics of biomass allocation and
productivity of mangrove forests and also introduce recent progress on the study of …

Mangrove forests are highly productive but globally threatened coastal ecosystems, whose
role in the carbon budget of the coastal zone has long been debated. Here we provide a …

Mangrove forest phenology at the regional scale have been poorly investigated and its
driving factors remain unclear. Multi-temporal remote sensing represents a key tool to …

Nearly 50% of terrigenous materials delivered to the world's oceans are delivered through
just twenty-one major river systems. These river-dominated coastal margins (including …

Globally, mangrove forests are substantially declining, and a globally synthesized database
containing the drivers of deforestation and drivers' interactions is scarce. Here, we …

The article presents new results on the structure and the above-ground biomass of the
various population types of mangroves in French Guiana. Nine mangrove stands were …

The principle objective of this book is to review the biological characteristics of estuaries.
The volume has been as a text for undergraduates and graduate students as well as …

A major paradigm in biosphere ecology is that organic production, carbon turnover and,
perhaps, species diversity are highest at tropical latitudes, and decrease toward higher …

This chapter aims to characterize the ecology and management of mangrove wetlands in the
Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea relative to human impacts and resource utilization. The …
