Mangroves are ecologically and economically important forests of the tropics. They are
highly productive ecosystems with rates of primary production equal to those of tropical …

Globally, soils and sediments are affected by the bioturbation activities of benthic species.
The consequences of these activities are particularly impactful in intertidal sediment, which …

Aim To reassess the capacity of mangroves for ecosystem services in the light of recent data.
Location Global mangrove ecosystems. Methods We review four long‐standing roles of …

This treatment provides an updated account of mangrove biodiversity patterns and evolution
based on ancestral biogeography and extant floristics. Mangrove plants occur where they do …

Mangrove ecosystems are acknowledged as a significant carbon reservoir, with a potential
key role as carbon sinks. Little however is known on sediment/soil capacity to store organic …

This chapter focuses on the net primary productivity and carbon (C) dynamics of mangrove
wetlands as related to the potential to sequester atmospheric C in above-and belowground …

This chapter uses a literature review to advance our understanding of the biogeochemical
functioning of mangrove wetlands and to elucidate biogeographic differences. We identify …

The broad prediction that ectotherms will be more vulnerable to climate change in the tropics
than in temperate regions includes assumptions about centre/edge population effects that …

Mangroves are critically threatened by human activities, despite the important ecosystem
functions and services they provide. Mangroves in Cameroon represent no exception to the …

Diet composition of leaf‐eating mangrove crabs is a puzzle among mangrove ecologists.
Nutrient‐poor leaf litter can in most cases not support animal growth. Food partitioning …
