Journal ArticleDOI
Using expert knowledge and modeling to define mangrove composition, functioning, and threats and estimate time frame for recovery
Nibedita Mukherjee,Nibedita Mukherjee,William J. Sutherland,Nabiul Islam Khan,Uta Berger,Nele Schmitz,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Nico Koedam +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that mangroves are ecologically unique even though they may be species poor (from the vegetation perspective) and the ranking of the mangrove ecological functions could be a useful tool for restoration and management ofMangroves.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Evaluation of Plotless Sampling Using Vegetation Simulations and Field Data from a Mangrove Forest
R. Hijbeek,R. Hijbeek,Nico Koedam,Nabiul Islam Khan,Nabiul Islam Khan,James Gitundu Kairo,Joannes Schoukens,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas +8 more
TL;DR: It was found that, besides aggregation and regularity, density trends often found in mangroves contribute to the unreliability of plotless sampling, raising questions about the use ofplotless sampling in forest monitoring and management, as well as for estimates of density-based carbon sequestration.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Evaluation of the Plant Density Estimator the Point-Centred Quarter Method (PCQM) Using Monte Carlo Simulation.
Nabiul Islam Khan,Nabiul Islam Khan,Nabiul Islam Khan,R. Hijbeek,R. Hijbeek,Uta Berger,Nico Koedam,Uwe Grueters,S. M. Zahirul Islam,Asadul Hasan,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas +11 more
TL;DR: This study attempts to review PCQM estimators in order to find the most accurate equation form and tests the accuracy of different PCQm equations using Monte Carlo Simulations in simulated plant populations and empirical ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Desynchronizing effects of lightning strike disturbances on cyclic forest dynamics in mangrove plantations
Markus Kautz,Uta Berger,Dietrich Stoyan,Juliane Vogt,Nabiul Islam Khan,Karen Diele,Ulrich Saint-Paul,Tran Triet,Vien Ngoc Nam +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of lightning gaps on the transition dynamics of plantations to more natural forests by damping the amplitude or by shortening the period of oscillations in tree densities.
