Intertidal mangrove forests are a dynamic ecosystem experiencing rapid changes in extent and habitat quality over geological history, today and into the future. Climate and sea level have drastically altered mangrove distribution since their appearance in the geological record ∼75 million years ago ...

Blue Carbon Ecosystems (BCEs) help mitigate and adapt to climate change but their integration into policy, such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), remains underdeveloped. Most BCE conservation requires community engagement, hence community-scale projects must be nested within the impleme...

Coastal aquaculture is socially, culturally and economically important in Southeast Asia, but its expansion in the last fifty years has had negative environmental and social consequences. Through analyses of detailed accounts of the expansion of coastal aquaculture, we aimed to increase knowledge of...

There is an urgent need to halt and reverse loss of mangroves and seagrass to protect and increase the ecosystem services they provide to coastal communities, such as enhancing coastal resilience and contributing to climate stability. 1 , 2 Ambitious targets for their recovery can inspire public and...

Abstract Mangroves have been identified as blue carbon ecosystems that are natural carbon sinks. In Bangladesh, the establishment of mangrove plantations for coastal protection has occurred since the 1960s, but the plantations may also be a sustainable pathway to enhance carbon sequestration, which ...

Abstract Mangroves have among the highest carbon densities of any tropical forest. These “blue carbon” ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon for long periods, and their protection reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports climate change mitigation. The incorporation of mangroves into Nati...

In this study, we assessed three carbon pools (aboveground and belowground biomass of trees, saplings, and mangrove soils) of mangrove plantations in Bangladesh. We sampled trees and saplings from 72 nested circular plots (each plot consists of three sub-plots; the total number of subplots: 216) fro...
