Dynamic Sedimentary Environment of Mangrove Coasts provides much-needed answers to questions related to failures in mangrove restoration, coastal management and weak blue carbon policy due to lack of knowledge in sedimentary systems. Presented through various contributions from world renowned experts in mangrove coasts, the editors seamlessly offer a general introduction of mangrove sedimentary dynamics, including surface elevation change. This leads into more in-depth information covering soil surface elevation change and sea level rise followed by a discussion on the importance of sedimentary dynamics in the loss or gain of blue carbon. The second half of the book presents connectivity in coastal sedimentary environment (e.g. mangrove degradation, seagrass-coral reef-mangrove connectivity) and concludes by addressing issues on mangrove restoration and mangrove sediments. Dynamic Sedimentary Environment of Mangrove Coasts will assist coastal managers and academics in addressing the gaps in mangrove restoration and coastal management. As such it will be a valuable reference for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, researchers, academics in the field of coastal restoration, as well as coastal management practitioners. Provides a state of the art summary of research into sedimentary dynamics in mangrove forestsProvides updates on issues of climate change-relevant to mangroves, such as blue carbon and sea level risePresents scientific background and successful case studies for mangrove restoration that can solve problems related to mangrove management INDICE: 1.
