Colonization of non-planted mangrove species into restored mangrove stands in Gazi Bay, Kenya (2003, background): “Possible causes of this failure in seedling recruitment may include: a limited influx of propagules ( FAO, 1994; Panapitukkul et al., 1998), propagule predation (Jones, 1984; Smith, 1988; Dahdouh-Guebas et al., 1997, 1998; Lee, 1998), high wave energies, hydrodynamic trapping or damage of propagules”
SUPPLY‐SIDE ECOLOGY IN MANGROVES: DO PROPAGULE DISPERSAL AND SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT EXPLAIN FOREST STRUCTURE? (2007, background): “…transplanted among zones of differing species composition and tidal elevation, no strong differences in survival or growth are observed (Smith 1987, Delgado et al. 2001, Clarke 2004) or the performance of seedlings actually improves when moved to a different zone (Jiménez and Sauter 1991).”
Temperature Tolerance of Early Life History Stages of Black Mangrove Avicennia germinans: Implications for Range Expansion (2011, background): “In tropical latitudes, tidal inundation has been shown to affect the rate of propagule establishment; 31–32% of tethered Avicennia propagules reached first true leaf development in 40 days when located in an intertidal flooding zone as opposed to 23% on am ud bank with greater flooding duration ( De”
