Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year ecosystem services support coastal livelihoods worldwide. Globally, areas declining rapidly as they cleared for development aquaculture logged timber fuel production. Little is known about the effects area loss on individual local or regional populations. To address this gap, species-specific information global...
Numerous factors affect the distribution of mangrove plants.Most species are typically dispersed by.water-buoyant propagules, allowing them to take advantage estuarine, coastal and ocean currents both replenish existing stands establish new ones.The direction they travel depends on sea land barriers, but dispersal distance time that propagules remain buoyant viable.This is expected differ for each species.Similarly, will also in establishment success growth development rate, has tolerance...

Climate change, particularly its associated sea level rise, is major threat to mangrove coastal areas, and it essential develop ways reduce vulnerability through strategic management planning. Vulnerability has three dimensions of exposure stresses, sensitivity, related adaptive capacity, measure components each were trialled at sites in Africa the South Pacific an analysis procedure based on ranking. The approaches ranking system for assessment systems integrate biotic abiotic factors along...
We present the basis for an entirely new approach to in situ nanoparticle sizing. Nanoparticles containing just 12 zeptomoles (1 zeptomole = 10(-21) moles) of silver, are detected via particle coulometry. These stochastic charge measurements correspond transfer only 7000-8000 electrons, yielding direct information relating individual volumes. The resulting size distribution (average equivalent radius 5 nm) obtained coulometry is excellent correspondence with that attained from TEM analysis....
Tidal marshes store large amounts of organic carbon in their soils. Field data quantifying soil (SOC) stocks provide an important resource for researchers, natural managers, and policy-makers working towards the protection, restoration, valuation these ecosystems. We collated a global dataset tidal marsh (MarSOC) from 99 studies that includes location, depth, site name, dry bulk density, SOC, and/or matter (SOM). The MarSOC 17,454 points 2,329 unique locations, 29 countries. generated...
Not every first footstep on a virgin shore leaves enduring trace, nor human settlement an deposit that chances to survive, and then be observed archaeologically. Good environmental evidence from Mangaia Island, central East Polynesia, gives — it is contended fairer picture of the invasion remote Oceania than short sceptical chronology recently published in ANTIQUITY.
Intertidal mangrove ecosystems are sensitive to climate change impacts, particularly associated relative sea level rise. Human stressors and low tidal range add vulnerability, both characteristics of the Doula Estuary, Cameroon. To investigate spatial techniques were combined with ground surveys map distributions zones, compare historical records quantify over last few decades. Low technology used establish elevation mapped area. Stratigraphic coring palaeobiological reconstruction show...
Abstract Anodic particle coloumetry is used to size silver nanoparticles impacting a carbon microelectrode in potassium chloride/citrate solution. Besides their size, agglomeration state solution also investigated solely by electrochemical means and subsequent data analysis. Validation of this new approach nanoparticle studies performed comparison with the results commercially available tracking analysis system, which shows excellent agreement. Moreover, it demonstrated that technique has...
Geodiversity assessment is recent and passing through a stage of methodological development consolidation. With rapid environmental change, improving the developmental states geodiversity paramount importance. A scientometric analysis presented to identify knowledge gaps, current trends avenues for future research in quantitative literature. The study categorised into three areas analysis: (a) intentions assessment, (b) methods (c) geographic trends. ranking tool was developed determine...

Flood frequency analysis using partial series data has been shown to provide better estimates of small medium magnitude flood events than the annual series, but is more often employed due its simplicity. Where average recurrence intervals are required, values “converted” Langbein equation, regardless whether statistical assumptions behind equation fulfilled. This study uses from Northern Tasmanian stream-gauging stations make empirical comparisons between and provided by equation. At T = 1.1...
