TL;DR: In this paper, a global analysis of mangrove canopy height gradients and aboveground carbon stocks based on remotely sensed measurements and field data is presented, highlighting that precipitation, temperature and cyclone frequency explain 74% of the global trends in maximum canopy height, with other geophysical factors influencing the observed variability at local and regional scales.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The present study suggests that the first thinning could be made earlier to limit the loss of exploitable wood due to natural thinning at MMFR and suggest that the mangrove management based on a 30-year rotation is appropriate for the MMFR.
Journal ArticleDOI
A general framework for propagule dispersal in mangroves.

TL;DR: It is shown that important dispersal factors remain understudied and that adequate empirical data on the determinants of dispersal are missing for most mangrove species, as well as the mechanisms and ecological processes that are known to modulate the spatial patterns of mangroves dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global-scale dispersal and connectivity in mangroves
TL;DR: A high-resolution, eddy- and tide-resolving numerical ocean model is used to simulate mangrove propagule dispersal across the global ocean and generates connectivity matrices between mangroves habitats using a range of floating periods, finding that dispersal distance and connectivity are highly sensitive to the minimum and maximum floating periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction between water and wind as a driver of passive dispersal in mangroves
Tom Van der Stocken,Bram Vanschoenwinkel,Dennis De Ryck,Tjeerd J. Bouma,Farid Dahdouh-Guebas,Nico Koedam +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that in open water, propagule traits appear to determine the effect of water and wind currents on dispersal dynamics, which has important implications for inter- and intraspecific variation in dispersal patterns and the likelihood of reaching suitable habitat patches within a propagule's viable period.
