Biomass accumulation in a rehabilitated mangrove forest at Gazi Bay (2009)
Book Chapter
Tamooh, F., Kairo, J. G., Huxham, M., Kirui, B., Mencuccini, M., & Karachi, M. (2009). Biomass accumulation in a rehabilitated mangrove forest at Gazi Bay. In Advances in Coastal Ecology : People, Processes and Ecosystems in Kenya, (138-147). African Studies Centre

Global mangrove coverage is estimated to be 0.4% of the forested areas globally (Spalding et al. 1997). Despite this small areal coverage, mangroves are important because of the range of ecological, economic and environmental services they provide (S...

Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach (2009)
Journal Article
Whomersley, P., Huxham, M., Bolam, S., Schratzberger, M., Augley, J., & Ridland, D. (2010). Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach. Marine Environmental Research, 69(5), 297-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2009.12.001

Two of the best-supported theories which describe the effects of disturbance within marine benthic habitats are the organic enrichment ‘Successional Model’ and the ‘Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis’. Underlying these models, biological mechanisms... Read More about Response of intertidal macrofauna to multiple disturbance types and intensities – An experimental approach.

The impacts of harvesting on the carbon balance of mangrove forests (2009)
Journal Article
Lang'at, J. K. S., Huxham, M., Kairo, J., & Mencuccini, M. (2009). The impacts of harvesting on the carbon balance of mangrove forests. CarboAfrica, 5

The study is part of a five-year project “Mangrove forests potential carbon sinks for mitigating climate change”, being implemented at Gazi bay, Kenya, by Earthwatch Institute, Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute and Edinburgh Napier Univer...

Differential response of meio- and macrofauna to in situ burial (2009)
Journal Article
Whomersley, P., Huxham, M., Schratzberger, M., & Bolam, S. (2009). Differential response of meio- and macrofauna to in situ burial. Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the UK, 89(06), 1091. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0025315409000344

Benthic nematode and macrofaunal communities are regularly utilized in impact studies. However, very few studies are carried out utilizing both communities. A literature search using the search engine Scopus (www.Scopus.com) covering the last twenty... Read More about Differential response of meio- and macrofauna to in situ burial.

Seasonal dynamics of soil carbon dioxide flux in a restored young mangrove plantation at Gazi Bay (2009)
Book Chapter
Kirui, B., Huxham, M., Kairo, J. G., Mencuccini, M., & Skov, M. W. (2009). Seasonal dynamics of soil carbon dioxide flux in a restored young mangrove plantation at Gazi Bay. In Advances in Coastal Ecology : People, Processes and Ecosystems in Kenya, 122-130. African Studies Centre

Soil carbon dioxide (CO2) flux or soil respiration includes respiration from roots (autotrophic respiration) and soil micro-organisms (heterotrophic respiration) and is a major component of the forest carbon cycle (Law et al. 2002; Tüfekçioğlu & Küçü...
