With only about 80 species of true mangrove trees worldwide, mangrove ecosystems comprise a relatively low number of habitat-forming tree species, but a high diversity of decomposer, detritivorous and consumer species. Although the overall level of d... Read More about Biodiversity.

Mangrove forests provide many services, some of which are used mostly or exclusively by local people, often the relatively poor and marginalised. Here, such ‘local ecosystem services’ are defined as those benefitting people living zero to tens of kil... Read More about Mangroves and People: Local Ecosystem Services in a Changing Climate.

Aim
To reassess the capacity of mangroves for ecosystem services in the light of recent data.

Location
Global mangrove ecosystems.

Methods
We review four long‐standing roles of mangroves: (1) carbon dynamics – export or sink; (2) nursery rol... Read More about Ecological role and services of tropical mangrove ecosystems: A reassessment..
