TL;DR: A critical reassessment of the quality and the robustness of these models across tropical forest types, using a large dataset of 2,410 trees ≥ 5 cm diameter, directly harvested in 27 study sites across the tropics, is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review four long-standing roles of mangroves: (1) carbon dynamics - export or sink; (2) nursery role; (3) shoreline protection; (4) land-building capacity).
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure, above-ground biomass and dynamics of mangrove ecosystems: new data from French Guiana
TL;DR: Based on the relationships between structural parameters and standing biomass, in particular with the use of the “self-thinning rule”, population dynamics models are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Half a century of dynamic coastal change affecting mangrove shorelines of French Guiana. A case study based on remote sensing data analyses and field surveys.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify coastal changes that took place over the last 50 years, and to relate them to natural processes of turnover and replenishment of mangrove forests, using a combination of remote sensing techniques (aerial photographs and SPOT satellite images) and field surveys in the area of French Guiana.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting and mapping mangrove biomass from canopy grain analysis using Fourier-based textural ordination of IKONOS images
TL;DR: In this article, Fourier-based textural ordination (FOTO) was used to estimate mangrove forest biomass from very high resolution (VHR) IKONOS images.
