The eastern coast of Brazil is 7000km long and has been the subject of systematic paleo-
sea-level investigations for more than 35 years. More than 1000 samples have been …

Mangroves function as a natural coastline protection for erosion and inundation, providing
important environmental services. Due to their geographical distribution at the continent …

The response of mangroves to high rates of relative sea level rise (RSLR) is poorly
understood. We explore the limits of mangrove vertical accretion to sustained periods of …

Although many of the current hypotheses to explain the origin and distribution of the Amazon
biodiversity has been based directly or indirectly on geological data, the reconstruction of …

—Molecular lignin analyses have become a powerful quantitative approach for estimating
flux and fate of vascular plant organic matter in coastal and marine environments. The use of …

Palynological analysis of a core from the Atlantic rain forest region in Brazil provides
unprecedented insight into late Quaternary vegetational and climate dynamics within this …

In addition to the largest existing expanse of tropical forests, the Brazilian Amazon has
among the largest area of mangroves in the world. While recognized as important global …

Mangroves are biogenic systems that accumulate sedimentary sequences, where cores can
provide records of mangrove species variation in distribution with past climate change and …

The present study is a compilation of the literature about vegetation of mangrove forest of the
north coast of Brazil. It synthesizes the knowledge about this important ecosystem and lists …

Intertidal mangrove ecosystems are sensitive to climate change impacts, particularly to
associated relative sea level rise. Human stressors and low tidal range add to vulnerability …
