Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria: A Potential Tool for Arid Mangrove ReforestationbackgroundMicrobes (bacteria and fungi) play a crucial role in nutrient recycling in mangrove systems, which are nutrient deficient. Microbes make nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorous, available to mangroves, while mangroves may improve soil conditions for microbes (for example, by oxidizing the soil). PGPB may be nitrogen fixers, phosphate solubilizers, mineral uptake enhancers, and phytopathogen controllers. Available with subscription or purchase |
Colonization of Non-Planted Mangrove Species into Restored Mangrove Stands in Gazi Bay, KenyaBackgroundAs mangroves are being recognized as some of the world’s most productive ecosystems, restoration efforts are being undertaken around the world. Not all projects are successful, however. This study will potentially help mangrove restoration practitioners with species selection. Available with subscription or purchase |
Net Primary Productivity of Two Mangrove Forest Stands on the Northwestern Coast of Sri LankaBackgroundThis article compares the net primary production of an estuarine mangrove stand to an island fringing stand in Dutch Bay in northwestern Sri Lanka. Research Goals & MethodsNet above-ground primary productivity was measured by monitoring litterfall and above-ground biomass increment between 1985 and 1987. Available with subscription or purchase |
Structural Properties of Two Types of Mangrove Stands on the Northwestern Coast of Sri LankabackgroundThis article compares the structural diversity of six mangrove stands of both estuarine and island-fringing types in Puttalam lagoon and Dutch Bay in northwestern Sri Lanka.

Preliminary assessment of post-Haiyan mangrove damage andshort-term recovery in Eastern Samar, central PhilippinesBackgroundIn this study, authors examined the natural ability of mangrove trees to recover after major storms and supertyphoons in the Philippines. Coastal mangroves are important for reducing the damage from these storms. Available with subscription or purchase |
