Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Coastal and Estuarine Studies, Volume 41.

Mangrove forests are a dominant feature of tropical coasts. Like their terrestrial counterparts these forests are under threat worldwide through a variety of destructive human practices. As is also the case with tropical terrestrial forests, management decisions about mangrove ecosystems are currently being made often without adequate fundamental knowledge of the processes controlling natural ecosystem function.
