The physical and ecological impacts of mangrove expansion and mangrove removal: Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand
The mangrove Avicennia marina var. australasica is rapidly colonising intertidal sandflats within a number of estuaries of the North Island of New Zealand. Many local residents perceive this change to be detrimental to the ecology and aesthetics of their estuaries, yet little empirical data is …

Mangrove ecosystem dynamics and clearance impacts
Despite rapid declines in global mangrove ecosystem area, temperate mangrove ecosystems in New Zealand have increased in area in recent decades. Mangrove clearance is increasingly being used as a strategy to manage this expansion. One of the aims of mangrove clearance is to return sandflat habitats …

Investigating Extreme Lifestyles Through Mangrove Transcriptomics
I have characterized phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), and dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) gene families in R. mangle , which are at major regulatpry points in the phenylpropanoid pathway. I have identified one DFR, two CHS, and ten PAL genes in R. mangle . Differential …

Sediment erosion and deposition within mangrove forests
Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems that sequester carbon in their own biomass and by trapping carbon-rich sediment imported from outside the forest and deposited in the forest. Aboveground biomass, like mangrove pneumatophores (i.e., aerial roots), creates conditions that facilitate …

Modeling gap dynamics, succession, and disturbance regimes of mangrove forests
… marine flora and fauna and the human livelihood mangrove forests suffer a high loss rate mainly due to human activity. Aside from these impacts, natural forest disturbances exist more commonly in mangroves compared to other forests as a direct consequence of their exposed coastal location. Within …

Mangrove population dynamics in relation to disturbance and recruitment within South African estuaries
Mangroves uniquely regulate their changing environment; however, as they complete their life cycle in this dynamic ecosystem, continuous monitoring is essential to determine if they are selfsustaining, regenerating sufficiently, and managing threats. This study evaluated the status of four mangrove …
