Tackling the tide: A rapid assessment protocol to detect terrestrial vertebrates in mangrove forests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02001-w
Abstract: Globally, the occurrence of terrestrial vertebrates in mangrove forests is poorly documented, with little empirical data available. This knowledge gap is, at least in part, explained by the challenging survey conditions typically found in these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12237-020-00733-0
Abstract: Coastal wetlands can sequester large amounts of organic carbon (OC), providing an additional motivation for the preservation and restoration of these ecosystems. In Tampa Bay (Florida, USA), created coastal wetlands are initially planted with Spartina… read more here.
