Functionality of restored mangroves: A review (2008, background): “Predation on natural propagules can also limit their availability and indicate that broadcasting of collected seeds or planting may be essential for successful restoration (Dahdouh-Guebas et al., 1997, 1998; Bosire et al., 2005b; Cannicci et al., 2008).”
Structural development and productivity of replanted mangrove plantations in Kenya (2008, methodology): “Bosire et al. (2005b) also found propagule predation to be playing a crucial role in limiting seedling recruitment into this high-density stand.”
Feeding ecology of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Ocypodidae): food choice, food quality and assimilation efficiency (2007, background): “Decomposition experiments show that leaf N concentration increases and C/N decreases significantly within a few days to several months depending on mangrove tree species, inundation frequency, season and temperature (Cundell et al. 1979; Twilley et al. 1986; Robertson 1988; Steinke et al. 1993; Wafa”
Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, background): “…the extent to which restored or replanted sites function similarly to pristine sites, both in terms of their habitat function for faunal communities (e.g., Bosire et al., 2004, 2008), and in terms of their productivity and biogeochemical functioning (McKee and Faulkner, 2000; Bosire et al., 2005).”
