Fate and effects of anthropogenic chemicals in mangrove ecosystems: A review
TLDR
The scientific literature for fate and effects of non-nutrient contaminant concentrations is skewed for reports describing sediment contamination and bioaccumulation for trace metals, which hinders chemical risk assessments and validation of effects-based criteria.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: A review.
TL;DR: Research demonstrates that oiling caused a wide range of biological effects, although worst-case impact scenarios did not materialize, and certain impacts are still understudied, such as effects on seagrass communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence, bioavailability and toxic effects of trace metals and organic contaminants in mangrove ecosystems: a review.
TL;DR: The present paper reviews the current knowledge on the occurrence, bioavailability and toxic effects of trace contaminants in mangrove ecosystems and highlights the major data and methodological gaps which should be addressed to refine the risk assessment of trace pollutants in manGrove ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oil spill impacts on mangroves: Recommendations for operational planning and action based on a global review.
TL;DR: To redress the gaps described here in reporting on oil spill impacts on mangroves and their recovery worldwide, a number of recommendations and suggestions are made for refreshing and updating standard operational procedures for responders, managers and researchers alike.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal and organic contaminants in mangrove ecosystems of China: a review
TL;DR: Overall, the Pearl River and Jiulong River estuaries were severely polluted spots and the highest concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were found in mangrove sediments from Hong Kong, followed by Fujian and Guangdong.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of heat-shock protein expression underlying adaptive responses to environmental stress
TL;DR: The ability of the heat‐shock system to affect evolutionary fitness in environments outside the laboratory and to evolve in response is topic of growing importance, and Hsps may have distinctive impacts on the evolution of other genes and ecological consequences.

Journal ArticleDOI
The value of the world's ecosystem services and natural capital
Robert Costanza,Rudolf de Groot,Stephen Farberk,Monica Grasso,Bruce Hannon,Karin E. Limburg,Shahid Naeem,José M. Paruelo,Robert Raskin,Paul Suttonkk,Marjan van den Belt +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have estimated the current economic value of 17 ecosystem services for 16 biomes, based on published studies and a few original calculations, for the entire biosphere, the value (most of which is outside the market) is estimated to be in the range of US$16-54 trillion (10^(12)) per year, with an average of US $33 trillion per year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of adverse biological effects within ranges of chemical concentrations in marine and estuarine sediments
TL;DR: In this article, matching biological and chemical data were compiled from numerous modeling, laboratory, and field studies performed in marine and estuarine sediments, and two guideline values (an effects range low and an effects range median) were determined for nine trace metals, total PCBs, two pesticides, 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and three classes of PAHs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Status and distribution of mangrove forests of the world using earth observation satellite data
Chandra Giri,E. Ochieng,Larry L. Tieszen,Zhiliang Zhu,Ashbindu Singh,Thomas R. Loveland,Jeffery G. Masek,Norm Duke +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the status and distribution of global mangroves using recently available Global Land Survey (GLS) data and the Landsat archive was mapped using hybrid supervised and unsupervised digital image classification techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Present state and future of the world's mangrove forests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that over the past 50 years, approximately one-third of the world's mangrove forests have been lost, but most data show very variable loss rates and there is considerable margin of error in most estimates.
