Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) in mangroves of an arid environment and its relationship with different mangrove species. The study utilized aerial imagery, supervised classification, and the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) to achieve this. The results showed that the highest SOC content was found between 20 and 60 meters from water bodies, with Rhizophora mangle having the highest SOC content followed by Laguncularia racemosa and Avicennia germinans.

Summary: Mangroves play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by providing important environmental goods and services. This study estimated the economic value of carbon stock in the aboveground biomass of mangroves in Bahia del Tobari and El Sargento. The findings showed that both sites had high carbon reserves and avoided CO2e emissions compared to other studies in the region.

Summary: Studies have shown that increases in minimum air temperatures in the southeastern United States have led to transitions of salt marshes to mangroves, but there is no documentation of oyster reefs converting to mangrove islands. Through aerial photographs and high-resolution satellite imagery, researchers found that the coverage and number of mangrove patches on oyster reefs in Mosquito Lagoon, FL have increased from 1943 to 2017. The expansion of mangroves on oyster reefs correlated with a lack of extreme freeze events and could potentially lead to a shift from intertidal oyster reefs to mangrove islands near polar mangrove range limits.

Summary: This study found that tree recruitment and landscape cover changes in a South American mangrove complex were influenced by El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate variability and hydrological rehabilitation. The rates of change of porewater salinity and ENSO intensity explained a significant portion of mangrove cover change rates and porewater salinity. These findings highlight the importance of considering porewater salinity, its rates of change, light availability, and climate variability in monitoring and mangrove restoration planning.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance understanding of biomass and soil carbon sequestration in an arid mangrove forest in Sirik, Hormozgan Province, Iran. The results showed significant differences in carbon storage in above and belowground biomass of mangrove areas, with forest soil storing the highest proportion of organic carbon in the ecosystem.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of harvesting intensity on carbon allocation and carbon stock in a West African mangrove. The results showed that soil carbon contributed the most to the total carbon stock, and the carbon stocks in standing live and dead trees were influenced by harvesting intensity. The study also discovered that the carbon stock potential in the mangrove was higher in low harvesting sites compared to high harvesting sites. These findings provide important insights into the role of mangroves in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.

Summary: Soil salinity is an important environmental factor in mangrove forests, affecting productivity and tree competition. This study developed a model incorporating plant hydraulics to investigate the growth characteristics of mangroves under salt stress. The model predictions aligned with field data, highlighting the influence of salinity on mangrove forest structures.

Summary: Globally, mangrove range limits are expanding, potentially affecting adjacent coastal ecosystems. This study in the Apalachicola Bay region of Florida found that soil organic carbon density in mangroves is not significantly influenced by dominant plant taxa, but rather by site-specific environmental attributes. The findings also indicate that shifts in plant taxa have occurred at all study sites. Overall, mangrove soil organic carbon concentrations are equal to or lower than those of neighboring saltmarsh habitats.

Summary: Accurate estimation of biomass and carbon stocks in mangrove forests is crucial for understanding their role in climate regulation. This study developed species-specific allometric equations and evaluated biomass allocation in two West African mangrove species. The new biomass models more accurately predicted biomass compared to existing models.

Summary: The study reveals strong spatial variations of climatic and physico-chemical variables within mangroves' niche, with artificial neural network outperforming multiple linear regression in predicting salinity, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity trends. Based on foreseen trends in bioclimatic variables, significant changes in conductivity, salinity, and dissolved oxygen are expected under Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5.

Summary: In this study, the microbial community (Bacteria and Archaea) in sediments associated with five ecological types of mangrove forests dominated by Avicennia germinans and Rhizophora mangle was characterized through 16S rRNA-V4 gene sequencing. The results showed that Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes, and Planctomycetes were the most abundant bacterial phyla, while Thaumarchaeota, Bathyarchaeota, and Nanoarchaeaeota were the dominant archaeal phyla. The microbial composition associated with basin mangroves dominated by Avicennia germinans was significantly different from other ecological types, which is relevant for restoration strategies.

Summary: This study found that functional traits of mangroves and seagrasses are closely related to blue carbon accumulation. The physical traits of these plants are positively correlated with sediment nutrient content, and different functional traits influence carbon storage potential. Moreover, mangrove root complexity is linked to phosphorus limitation.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a common glyphosate-based herbicide on mangrove and water chestnut trees. The results showed that different concentrations of glyphosate had different effects on plant growth, with continuous application leading to reduced growth. Additionally, glyphosate also decreased the release of carbon dioxide from the soil. These findings contribute to the understanding of the adverse effects of glyphosate on ecologically important trees and their ecosystem services in coastal areas.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of nutrient enrichment on photosynthesis and respiration in black mangrove leaves. The results suggest that nitrogen addition may have short-term effects on photosynthetic processes, but sustained effects on leaf respiration in nitrogen-limited mangrove ecosystems.

Summary: The study found that the concentrations of BTEX in the air in Leon were mainly influenced by vehicular and local sources, with lower levels during the rainy season possibly due to higher solar radiation and temperatures. Substances such as benzene and toluene were strongly correlated with temperature and solar radiation, and could originate from common sources such as vehicular exhaust emissions.

Summary: The study conducted in an urban area near an oil storage-distribution facility in Paraiso, Tabasco, Mexico found that the atmospheric concentrations of BTEX were influenced by seasonal and diurnal patterns, with sources beyond vehicular traffic contributing to the levels. Statistical analysis revealed significant positive correlations among BTEX compounds, indicating common sources. The assessment of lifetime cancer risk suggested a possible risk for the population in the study area.
