The influence of stand age on benthic decomposition and recycling of organic matter in managed mangrove forests of Malaysia
TLDR
A shift to proportionally less sulfate reduction in sediments of regenerating forests may result in greater availability of dissolved nutrients and some trace metals, and serve to reduce exposure of R. apiculata seedlings to anoxic, toxic solutes, and facilitate rapid seedling growth and regeneration of forests.About:

Biology of mangroves and mangrove Ecosystems
TL;DR: Mangroves are woody plants that grow at the interface between land and sea in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes where they exist in conditions of high salinity, extreme tides, strong winds, high temperatures and muddy, anaerobic soils, creating unique ecological environments that host rich assemblages of species.

Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review
TL;DR: Knowing on mangrove carbon dynamics has improved considerably in recent years, but there are still significant gaps and shortcomings, and relevant research directions are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restoration of Biogeochemical Function in Mangrove Forests
TL;DR: Findings indicate that local or regional factors such as salinity regime act together with site history to control primary production and turnover rates of organic matter in restoration sites, and suggest that restoration sites dominated by Laguncularia racemosa and Rhizophora mangle should exhibit slower recycling of nutrients compared with natural basin forests where Avicennia germinans is more abundant.

Control by fiddler crabs (Uca vocans) and plant roots (Avicennia marina) on carbon, iron, and sulfur biogeochemistry in mangrove sediment
Erik Kristensen,Daniel M. Alongi +1 more
TL;DR: Fiddler crabs and roots of A. marina have complementary effects on the biogeochemistry of mangrove sediment and their association seems to be mutually beneficial with respect to growth and food availability.

Daniel M. Alongi,Gullaya Wattayakorn,John Pfitzner,Frank Tirendi,Irena Zagorskis,Gregg J. Brunskill,A Davidson,Barry Clough +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined organic carbon accumulation, mineralization and burial in sediments during dry and wet seasons in four mangrove forests of a shallow-water embayment in southern Thailand.

Spectrophotometric determination of hydrogen sulfide in natural waters1
TL;DR: Winkler and Carpenter as mentioned in this paper proposed a modification of the Winkler method for the detection of dissolved oxygen in seawater, which has been shown to be more accurate than the original method.

Age-Related Decline in Forest Productivity: Pattern and Process
TL;DR: The common patterns of a decline in stand leaf area and leaf photosynthetic capacity suggest a new model of carbon balance with stand development, and this chapter presents a framework for understanding the changes in stand productivity with age.

Measurement of bacterial sulfate reduction in sediments: Evaluation of a single-step chromium reduction method
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure which includes the Total Reduced Inorganic Sulfur (TRIS) in a single distillation step is described for the radiotracer measurement of sulfate reduction in sediments.
