This study provides the length-weight relationships (LWRs) for 13 fish species belonging to 10 families. Samples were collected in the mangrove area of Akanda National Park (ANP) in Gabon between May 2017 and March 2018 with fishing trammel gillnets (15 m long and 1.10 m high, 100 mm large mesh outer layers, and one 10, 27, and 40 mm small mesh eac...

Understanding the interactions between microorganisms, soil extracellular enzymes, and mangroves is crucial for conserving and restoring mangrove ecosystems. However, the unique environments associated with mangroves have resulted in a lack of pertinent data regarding the interactions between these components. Root, stem, leaf, and soil samples wer...

Benthic microeukaryotes are crucial mediators of biogeochemical cycles in coastal wetland ecosystems, yet their spatial and temporal variability remains poorly understood. This study delineates the diversity patterns of benthic microeukaryotes in a Spartina alterniflora-invaded mangrove ecosystem in Fujian, China. Using high-throughput sequencing o...

Mangrove play a crucial role in coastal ecosystem, both ecologically and economically. The phenomenon of land use change in coastal areas is a serious issue, especially for mangrove ecosystems. Currently there is one of the data with the High Resolution Imagery category that can be used as an analysis of coastal areas. High resolution data can prov...
Littoral and swamp forests are among the most threatened native plant communities in the island of Tahiti (South Pacific) due to past and present anthropogenic pressures such as agriculture, urbanization, pollutions, and invasive alien species, including the mangrove tree Rhizophora stylosa. In order to provide reference data that are crucial to im...
Akanda National Park (ANP) is composed of mangrove ecosystems bordering Libreville, Gabon's capital. The contamination of aquatic resources from the ANP by persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and trace metals (TMs) was never evaluated. To provide a basis for their monitoring in the ANP, five species (two fish, two mollusks, and one crustacean) wer...

Iron (Fe) plaques in coastal wetlands are widely recognized because of their strong adsorption affinity for natural particles, but their interaction behaviors and mechanisms with plastics remain unknown. Through laboratory incubation experiments, paired with multiple characterization methods and microbial analysis, this work focused on the characte...

Tropical seascapes rely on the feedback relationships among mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and coral reefs, as they mutually facilitate and enhance each other's functionality. Biogeochemical fluxes link tropical coastal habitats by exchanging material flows and energy through various natural processes that determine the conditions for life and...
Les mangroves du Sénégal se caractérisent par une couverture partielle des estrans. En effet, proportionnellement à la salinité des eaux et des sols, la partie haute des estrans est trop salée et acide pour la vie des palétuviers. Ces espaces sont appelés les tannes. L'interface entre la mangrove et les tannes fluctue dans le temps, en réaction aux...
