Effects of Oil Spills on Fringing Red Mangroves (rhizophora Mangle): Losses of Mobile Species Associated with Submerged Prop Roots
Extrapolation of results from empirical studies of natural or anthropogenic perturbations are a useful tool in estimating potential effects of future impacts, For 5 years we studied the direct effects of a major oil spill on fringing red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle) and the organisms that live attached to their submerged prop roots, Based on these data, we here estimate the effects of this oil...
متن کاملMeasuring the effects of salinity stress in the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle L
The mangrove habitat exhibits many unique physical features, one of the most important of which is a salinity gradient. Photosynthetic rates, as measured by leaf stomatal conductance and leaf chlorophyll fluorescence induction, were tested as indicators of salinity stress in seedlings of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle, grown under five different salinity levels: 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 parts...
متن کاملThe Impacts of Red Mangrove (rhizophora Mangle) Deforestation on Zooplankton Communities in Bocas Del Toro, Panama
Deforestation impact studies have generally focused on tropical rainforests or temperate coniferous woodlands. However, extensive clear-cutting is currently occurring in a wide-ranging, but far less recognized habitat: the world's mangrove forests. These coastal forests thrive in areas of low wave action and high sediment availability, where mangrove trees develop dense and productive ecosystem...
متن کاملPostglacial expansion pathways of red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle, in the Caribbean Basin and Florida.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) was a period of massive range contraction. Post-LGM, water-dispersed coastal species, including the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle), expanded poleward as propagules were transported by ocean currents. We assessed postglacial marine expansion pathways for R. mangle within the Caribbean Basin and Florida. METHODS Six microsatellite loci were ...
متن کاملStudies on the Growth of Red Mangrove (Rhizophora mangle L.) 4. The Adult Root System
Aerial roots in Rhizophora rise from stems, branches, and secondarily thickened, anchored, aerial roots, but only after injury from unanchored aerial roots. Lateral subterranean roots are abundantly developed upon penetration of a mud substrate whereupon the histology of the root undergoes marked and abrupt changes so that chlorophyll is no longer developed, trichosclereids no longer differenti...
