The Mangrove Tale: Mechanistic Modelling of Mangrove-Eco-Geomorphic Interactions

The over-exploitation of mangrove forests since the 1980s has led to biodiversity loss and coastal erosion in several parts of the world. Still, about 80-90% of mangrove restoration projects have been reported to fail. The main reasons are related to a poor understanding of the eco-geomorphological dynamics and mangrove species-specific...

Modelling mangrove-mudflat dynamics with a coupled individual-based-hydro-morphodynamic model

As climate-change-driven extremes potentially make coastal areas more vulnerable, mangroves can help sustainably protect the coasts. There is a substantial understanding of both mangrove dynamics and hydro-morphodynamic processes. However, the knowledge of complex eco-geomorphic interactions with physical-environmental stressors remains...
