The mangrove ecosystem is reported to have a large diversity of species that develop in environments with high salinity levels. Plant from mangroves are used traditional medicine and potential sources chemicals entities therapeutic applications. present work aims assess document the influence on antioxidant activity exerted by extracts through spectroscopic chemical analysis. highest recorded Río Verde (RV) Petén Neyac (PN), an LPBR site. leaves Laguncularia racemosa (from RV PN) extraction...

Mangrove ecosystems face significant threats from climate change and human activities. In West Benin, the invasive grass Paspalum vaginatum disrupts sedimentation hydrology, creating anoxic conditions nutrient imbalances. To address this, we implemented a cost‐effective restoration strategy focused on hydrological repair, engaging local communities to excavate 26 artificial channels clear 19 existing ones, restoring tidal flow 30 ha of degraded mangrove forest. Of 20 were planted with...

The seeds germination, stem and root elongation of water lettuces (Lactuca sativa L) were used to evaluate the phytotoxicity soil Champotón River, Campeche, Mexico. sample collected from two sampling sites. Lettuce exposed three different dilutions aqueous extract soil. Significant differences on lettuce detected. Water showed more phytotoxic effect than inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) for radicle river was 52% while 69%. Due paucity previously available phytotoxicological studies onto it...

Mangrove forests are conspicuous components of tropical wetlands that sustain continuous exposure to wastewater discharges commonly municipal origins. Mangroves can remove nutrients from these waters fulfill their demand, although the effects unknown. An experimental greenhouse imitating tidal regimes was built measure efficiency mangrove seedlings incorporate nutrients, growth and above biomass production when exposed three periodic discharges. The experiment totaled 112 d. Nutrient removal...

We evaluated the phenological response and litterfall production of Rhizophora mangle to changes in pore water chemistry over a five-year period (from 2009 2014 2010 2016) along coast Campeche, México. Severe drought conditions were recorded with Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) −1.5 again 2015 SPI −1.16). A precipitation deficit 22.1% was between 2016 ranging from 9.5% Laguna de Terminos south 64.4% Los Petenes Biosphere Reserve north. varied significantly per year (p < 0.001),...

The anthropogenic activities change hydrological pattern of mangrove ecosystems affecting their carbon accumulation and methane emissions.For this reason, the aim for study was to estimate nitrogen quantity, in addition emission associated with physicochemical parameters from sediment into three (Los petenes Biosphere Reserve (BR), Laguna de Términos Champotón) different anthropic pressure characteristics along Campeche coast.Sampling realized rainy season pH, Redox interstitial water were...

Mangrove forests have proven to be resilient most environmental change, surviving catastrophic climate events over time. Our study aimed evaluate the chemical variability of pore water and its effect on phenological production in three mangrove species (Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia germinans, Laguncularia racemosa) along coast state Campeche during a year severe drought (2009) average precipitation (2010). Pore salinity redox potential were measured monthly forest 2009 2010. Litterfall...

For decades, mangroves have been exposed to various pressures, resulting in the loss of large swathes around world. this reason, ecological restoration actions are presented as alternatives recover that can restore their ecosystem services while helping mitigate climate change’s effects. Mangroves crucial, they capture and sequester carbon biomass soil, highlighting importance environmental conservation fight against change. In research, amount sequestered a mangrove area restored eight...

A prospective punctual sampling was carried out during the rainy season where quality of water (nutrients such as: nitrites, sulfates, phosphates and ammonium) fish community (ichthyofauna) were measured by means UVC methodology (underwater visual census), in ecotourism site “El Remate” which is located municipality Calkiní, Campeche, an increase tourism expected from “Mayan Train” megaproject. Water tests did not reflect a significant anthropic impact on body ichthyofauna presented...

Mangroves are considered one of the most productive ecosystems worldwide, providing multiple environmental goods and services; however, in recent years, there have been modifications deterioration structure function these ecosystems, caused by various natural events anthropic activities, such as construction roads, wastewater discharge, unsustainable livestock, agricultural practices, well impact chemicals, heavy metals, oil spills, use herbicides. In this research, phytotoxic effects on...

The productivity of mangrove ecosystems is associated with litterfall production, which continuously contributes large quantities organic matter, in the form detritus, to food web via adjacent ecosystems. However, degree deterioration worldwide has been increasing due anthropogenic activities, leading loss vegetation cover and changes hydrological patterns, chemical conditions interstitial water soil, degradation rate and, thus, integration matter into ecosystem. In this study, we...
