Mangrove Sediments and Geomorphology

TL;DR: In this article, a set of statistical models were developed to improve spatial estimates of mangrove aboveground biomass (AGB) based on the environmental signature hypothesis (ESH) for the Neotropics and a small portion of the Nearctic region.

TL;DR: It is suggested that crab predation has primacy over many of these environmental factors by acting as the first limiting factor of tropical tree recruitment to drive the potential structural and compositional organisation of coastal forests.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the extent, characteristics and use of the country's remaining mangrove habitats and confirmed the presence of three true mangroves: Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia germinans and Laguncularia racemosa.

TL;DR: Mangrove forests are considered to be a unique and complex major component of coastal zones in the tropical and sub-tropical regions as mentioned in this paper, and they not only play critical roles in ensuring sustainability of coastal ecosystems, but also in fulfilling important socio-economic benefits to coastal communities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-examine the data and conclude that the temperature of the abyssal ocean has been an actively varying component of the climate system, and that there has been a discrepancy between the ice volume record that these records imply and that derived from the altitude of dated coral terraces around the world.

TL;DR: The Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers combined have formed one of the largest deltas in the world, comprising some 23,000 sq. miles as discussed by the authors, and the large discharge and heavy sediment load cause the rivers to be extremely unstable, and the channels are constantly migrating laterally.

TL;DR: Mangroves are trees or bushes growing between the level of high water of spring tides and a level close to but above mean sea-level and the land animals found in mangrove forests include roosting flocks of fruit bats, fishing and insectivorous birds, and many insects are conspicuous.

TL;DR: The sea level rise due to ice-sheet melting since the last glacial maximum was not uniform everywhere because of the deformation of the Earth's surface and its geoid by changing ice and water loads.
