Mangroves are an ecological assemblage of trees and shrubs adapted to grow in intertidal
environments along tropical coasts. Despite repeated demonstration of their economic and …

Background Mangroves are a group of highly salt-tolerant woody plants. The high water use
efficiency of mangroves under saline conditions suggests that regulation of water transport is …

Despite their importance in sustaining livelihoods for many people living along some of the
world's most populous coastlines, tropical mangrove forests are disappearing at an alarming …

Soil drought and salinity are stresses that seriously restrict plant productivity. Water and salt
stress often occur simultaneously or sequentially in the heavily irrigated field in the arid and …

Previous reviews of mangrove biology focused on the more extensive and diverse tropical
examples, with those of temperate regions generally relegated to a footnote. Temperate …

Abstract Background and Aims Halophytic eudicots are characterized by enhanced growth
under saline conditions. This study combines physiological and anatomical analyses to …

Mangrove forests provide essential ecosystem services, but are threatened by habitat loss,
effects of climatic change and chemical pollutants. Hypersalinity can also lead to mangrove …

Aim Mangrove canopy height is a key metric to assess tidal forests' resilience in the face of
climate change. In terrestrial forests, tree height is primarily determined by water availability …

Leaf structure and water relations were studied in a temperate population of Avicennia
marina subsp. australasica along a natural salinity gradient [28 to 49 parts per thousand …

Cyclones are significant drivers of change within mangrove ecosystems with the extent of
initial damage determined by storm severity, location and distribution (exposure), and …
