TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a remote sensing analysis to quantify deforestation rates for the Ayeyarwady Delta from 1978 to 2011, develop business-as-usual deforestation scenarios, and contextualize those results with an analysis of contemporary policy changes within Myanmar that are expected to alter the principal drivers of land cover change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the dynamics of post-cyclone mangrove vegetation in the Ayeyarwady Mega Delta of Myanmar and found that the recovery potential of specific species varied.
