Organic carbon dynamics in mangrove ecosystems : a review (2008, methodology): “Thus, the degree of utilization of mangrovederived food sources depends partially on the degree of material exchange with adjacent systems (Bouillon et al., 2004).”
The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “, 2000) is likely to significantly bias model output, since tracer studies indicate that mangrove-derived carbon contributes only marginally to these organisms’ diets (e.g., France, 1998; Meziane et al., 2002; Bouillon et al., 2004).”
The relative importance of mangroves and seagrass beds as feeding areas for resident and transient fishes among different mangrove habitats in Florida and Belize: Evidence from dietary and stable-isotope analyses (2012, background): “Specifically, mangrove-derived carbon may contribute more extensively to the seagrass food web in relatively ‘closed’ systems, such as the IRL, where mangrove production remains in residence due to limited exchange with adjacent ocean waters (Bouillon et al., 2004, 2008).”
