Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Temperature and Precipitation on Global Mangrove Rhizophora Species DistributionAroloye O. Numbere, Gerardo R. CamiloClimate change influences the distribution of mangroves towards tropical or temperate regions of the world. We hypothesized that Rhizophora species organized along complex spatial and temporal temperature and precipitation gradient. To determine the affinity of different mangroves with climatic parameters, the response of eight Rhizophora species to seven climatic parameters (i.e., annual mean temperature, annual precipitation, maximum temperature of warmest … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 5 Oct 2017 · 8,259 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAboveground Biomass Production of Rhizophora apiculata Blume in Sarawak Mangrove ForestI.A. Chandra, G. Seca, M.K. Abu HenaProblem statement: Mangrove forests are found in tropical and subtropical coastal tidal regions. Rhizophora apiculata Blume is one of the most important species in mangrove forest. It is also one of the commercial mangrove timber species in Asia-Pacific region which dominates large areas of mangrove in this region. In order to understand forest ecosystem characteristics and to establish the proper … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2011 · 10,601 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Soil Types on Growth, Survival and Abundance of Mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa) and Nypa Palm (Nypa fruticans) Seedlings in the Niger Delta, NigeriaAroloye O. NumbereThe invasion of nypa palm into mangrove forest is a serious problem in the Niger Delta. It is thus hypothesized that soil will influence the growth, survival and abundance of mangrove and nypa palm seedlings. The objective was to compare the growth, survival and abundance of both species in mangroves, nypa palm and farm soils (control). The seeds were planted … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2019 · 8,867 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCommunity Participation in Mangrove Conservation and Ecosystem Assessment in Tanjung Rejo, IndonesiaFinny Juniyanti Nasution, Mohammad Basyuni et al.Mangrove forests located in the intertidal zones of tropical and subtropical areas exhibit distinct characteristics and offer a range of potential advantages for human life. These mangroves should be conserved for sustainability. Therefore, the local community should participate in mangrove forest management to get the benefits directly. This study searched for to (1) identify the mangrove forest ecosystem and (2) … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2025 · 3,890 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPalynological Studies of Sediments from North Chioma-3 Well, Niger Delta and its Palaeoenvironmental InterpretationsOlugbenga Ebenezer Ige, Kalyani Datta, Kanak Sahai, Krishna Kumar RawatProblem statement: The Niger Delta Nigeria stands among the world's best-studies delta complexes but its superficial deposits are among the poorest known publicity. In spite of continuous oil prospecting production in the area, there is still a paucity of published information and data on the palynology of the Niger Delta. This study aimed at reconstructing the palaeoenvironments of the Niger … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 10 Oct 2011 · 7,884 accessesView PDF Cite
