TL;DR: Across the globe, mangrove species found primarily in the high intertidal and upstream estuarine zones are the most threatened because they are often the first cleared for development of aquaculture and agriculture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origins of mangrove ecosystems and the mangrove biodiversity anomaly
TL;DR: Patterns of nestedness at the community and species-level both point towards three independent regions of diversification of mangrove ecosystems: South-east Asia, the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, and the Indian Ocean region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropogenic Disturbance of Caribbean Mangrove Ecosystems: Past Impacts, Present Trends, and Future Predictions
TL;DR: This paper reviewed historical, current, and projected future impacts of four classes of anthropogenic disturbance-extraction, pollution, reclamation, and changing climate on Caribbean mangrove ecosystems (mangal).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology and Physiology of Viviparous and Recalcitrant Seeds
TL;DR: The physiology, morphology, and ecology of desiccation-intolerant, nondormant lineages of recalcitrant and viviparous species are reviewed.
The global conservation status of mangroves
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report and rank current, primary conservation issues threatening mangrove forests at 38 sites in 16 nations and island states, based on discussions with local professional land managers, university scientists, villagers and village leaders, and regional government officials.
