Below-ground root yield and distribution in natural and replanted mangrove forests at Gazi bay, Kenya (2008)
Journal Article
Tamooh, F., Huxham, M., Karachi, M., Mencuccini, M., Kairo, J. G., & Kirui, B. (2008). Below-ground root yield and distribution in natural and replanted mangrove forests at Gazi bay, Kenya. Forest Ecology and Management, 256(6), 1290-1297. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2008.06.026

Estimation of total biomass in woody ecosystems is important because of its relevance to nutrient turnover and the potential to store carbon. Most work on mangrove biomass, particularly in the Western Indian Ocean Region, has concentrated on the abov...

The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test (2008)
Journal Article
Augley, J., Huxham, M., Fernandes, T. F., & Lyndon, A. R. (2008). The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test. Journal of Sea Research, 60(4), 292-296. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seares.2008.05.004

Previous population estimates of the 0+ plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) in the Firth of Forth, east central Scotland, did not take account of the Forth estuary west of the Forth bridges. Previous work found plaice in the estuary grew as fast as, or... Read More about The effect of salinity on growth and weight loss of juvenile plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L): An experimental test.

Influence of species richness and environmental context on early survival of replanted mangroves at Gazi bay, Kenya (2008)
Journal Article
Kirui, B. Y. K., Huxham, M., Kairo, J., & Skov, M. (2008). Influence of species richness and environmental context on early survival of replanted mangroves at Gazi bay, Kenya. Hydrobiologia, 603(1), (171-181). doi:10.1007/s10750-007-9270-3. ISSN 0018-8158

Mangrove reforestation projects often suffer from low sapling survival, especially after transplanting saplings from nurseries to reforestation areas. This may be due to the sediment conditions at the target site, the planting strategy or failure to...
