Seedling survivorship, growth, and response to disturbance in Belizean mangal

Background

Species zonation patterns across tidal gradients in mangrove forests are formed by successful seedling establishment and maintained by replacement of adults by conspecific seedlings. These two processes have rarely been examined experimentally in neotropical mangrove. This study examines survivorship and growth of seedlings of Rhizopora mangle and Avicennia germinans across a tidal gradient in Belize.

Propagación vegetativa de tres especies de mangle por acodos aéreos en el manglar de Sontecomapan, Catemaco, Veracruz, México (Asexual propagation of three species of mangroves in Veracruz, Mexico).

Los autores evaluaron la propagación asexual por acodos aéreos en las especies Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae), Laguncularia racemosa (Combretaceae) y Avicennia germinans (Avicenniaceae) bajo el supuesto de que una planta de mangle propagada por acodo puede ser de mayor altura y más rápido crecimiento.

Mangrove reforestation: greening or grabbing coastal zones and deltas? Case studies in Senegal.

Background

Mangroves have lost 20% of their global extent over the last 20 years. Mangrove reforestation incentives are increasingly widespread as a response to restore this vital ecosystem. However, the social and ecological impacts of common mangrove plantation methods are not adequately understood.
