| Multiple markers pyrosequencing reveals highly diverse and host-specific fungal communities on the mangrove trees Avicennia marina and Rhizophora stylosa. | Fungi are important actors in ecological processes and trophic webs in mangroves. Although saprophytic fungi occurring in the intertidal part of mangrove have been well studied, little is known about the diversity and structure of the fungal communities in this ecosystem or about the importance of functional groups like pathogens and mutualists. Using tag-encoded 454 pyrosequencing of the ITS1, ITS2, nu-ssu-V5 and nu-ssu-V7 regions, we studied and compared the fungal communities found on the mar ... | 2011 | 22092266 |
| seed predation by insects in tropical mangrove forests: extent and effects on seed viability and the growth of seedlings. | although insects are known to be important seed predators in most terrestrial forests, their role in marine tidal (mangrove) forests has not been examined. surveys at 12 sites in tropical australia showed that between 3.1 and 92.7 percent of the seeds or propagules of 12 mangrove tree species had been attacked by insects. seeds/propagules of six species (avicennia marina, bruguiera gymnorrhiza, b. parviflora, heritiera littoralis, xylocarpus australasicus and x. granatum) showed consistently hig ... | 1990 | 22160114 |

| mangrove expansion and salt marsh decline at mangrove poleward limits. | mangroves are species of halophytic intertidal trees and shrubs derived from tropical genera and are likely delimited in latitudinal range by varying sensitivity to cold. there is now sufficient evidence that mangrove species have proliferated at or near their poleward limits on at least five continents over the past half century, at the expense of salt marsh. avicennia is the most cold-tolerant genus worldwide, and is the subject of most of the observed changes. avicennia germinans has extended ... | 2014 | 23907934 |
| structural equation modelling reveals factors regulating surface sediment organic carbon content and co2 efflux in a subtropical mangrove. | mangroves are blue carbon ecosystems that sequester significant carbon but release co2, and to a lesser extent ch4, from the sediment through oxidation of organic carbon or from overlying water when flooded. previous studies, e.g. leopold et al. (2015), have investigated sediment organic carbon (soc) content and co2 flux separately, but could not provide a holistic perspective for both components of blue carbon. based on field data from a mangrove in southeast queensland, australia, we used a st ... | 2017 | 27836338 |
| mangrove succession enriches the sediment microbial community in south china. | sediment microorganisms help create and maintain mangrove ecosystems. although the changes in vegetation during mangrove forest succession have been well studied, the changes in the sediment microbial community during mangrove succession are poorly understood. to investigate the changes in the sediment microbial community during succession of mangroves at zhanjiang, south china, we used phospholipid fatty acid (plfa) analysis and the following chronosequence from primary to climax community: unv ... | 2016 | 27265262 |
