Mangrove Sediments and Geomorphology

TL;DR: Mangrove carbon and nutrient burial rates increased in NE Hainan, China, coinciding with coastal aquaculture development and water eutrophication since the 1960s, with estuarine mangroves exhibiting higher burial rates and sediment accretion than open-coastal mangroves.

TL;DR: The authors investigated sedimentation rate changes and long-term vegetation community evolution at Ukerebagh Island, a coastal wetland within the sub-tropical Tweed River estuary on the NSW-Queensland border.

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive field campaign in a mangrove area in Trang Province, Thailand has been conducted, where data have been collected on elevation, vegetation, water levels, flow directions and flow velocities throughout this study area.

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.
