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.
The role of sediment microorganisms in the productivity, conservation, and rehabilitation of mangrove ecosystems: an overview
TL;DR: This overview summarizes the current state of knowledge of microbial transformations of nutrients in mangrove ecosystems and illustrates the important contributions these microorganisms make to the productivity of the ecosystems.

The ecology and management of temperate mangroves
Donald J. Morrisey,Andrew Swales,Sabine Dittmann,Mark Morrison,Catherine E. Lovelock,Catherine M. Beard +5 more
TL;DR: Temperate mangroves are distinctive in several ways, most obviously by the lower diversity of tree species as mentioned in this paper, and their occurrence in relatively developed countries has created different issues for mangrove management from those in the tropics.
Breakdown of mangrove leaf litter in a managed mangrove forest in Peninsular Malaysia
TL;DR: It is shown that breakdown of leaf litter is site and species dependent and affects ecological functioning of the mangrove ecosystem and may have implications for management and conservation of mangroves.

Leaf-burying crabs : their influence on energy flow and export from mixed mangrove forests (Rhizophora spp.) in northeastern Australia
TL;DR: The results show that an earlier attempt to measure detrital export from mangrove forests in northeastern Australia over-estimated export by at least 22% by ignoring leaf removal by crabs, and indicate that current models of energy flow in mangroves must be altered to include the leaf litter → crab trophic link in order to describe accurately the food chains of mangroVE forests in the Indo-West Pacific region.
