“…Mangrove restoration through planting has been used as the primary strategy to increase mangroves in many countries and organizations (Mursyid et al, 2021; Primavera & Esteban, 2008). Large‐scale planting of mangroves could increase mangrove area, but the short‐term success as well as the long‐term efficacy of this program should be monitored.…”

“…Although planting successes had been reported with mangrove survival rates of ≈90%, low survival rates of 10%–20% or lower are also common (Primavera & Esteban, 2008). Failures in mangrove plantings are often the result of a lack of baseline information on the causes of mangrove deforestation or degradation, land tenure issues, weak law enforcement, and complex governance on mangrove reforestation and conservation (Dale et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2019; Mursyid et al, 2021; Primavera & Esteban, 2008). Therefore, a comprehensive and scientific assessment on biophysical, and socio‐economic factors that could limit recovery should be conducted prior to project implementation.…”

Mangrove forests are important carbon sinks, and this is especially true for Indonesia where about 24% of the world's mangroves exist. Unfortunately, vast expanses of these mangroves have been deforested, degraded or converted to other uses resulting in significant greenhouse gas emissions. The objective of this study was to quantify the climate change mitigation potential of mangrove conservation and restoration in Indonesia. We calculated the emission factors from the dominant land uses in mangroves, determined mangrove deforestation rates and quantified the total emissions and the potential emission reductions that could be achieved from mangrove conservation and restoration.

“…ENSO-related fires have encouraged more scientific inquiries in Indonesia and other tropical countries (Alencar et al, 2006;Juárez-Orozco et al, 2017). Forest fires in Indonesia have continued to draw scientific interest over the past two decades, along with studies related to mitigation of climate change, i.e., the prevention of deforestation and degradation (Nurhidayah et al, 2017;Mursyid et al, 2021). In context, more than a third of the entire country's emissions between 2000-2010 were sourced from fires that occurred in concession areas (Busch et al, 2015).…”

Forest fires in Indonesia have attracted much attention among researchers over the past few decades. This paper aims to systematically map the existing corpus of scientific knowledge on forest fires in Indonesia. The systematic maps visualize which areas of significant activity and indicate specific interests and motives. The systematic analysis is also helpful in improving the understanding of current issues, problems, and challenges. From the scientific database of Scopus, we found 209 peer-reviewed journal articles directly related to forest fires in Indonesia published between 1989 and 2021 (July). In general, the number of publications rose after major fire events, notably in 1997/1998. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-related big fires seem to be the primary driver of more scientific inquiries. The present review shows that although fires occurred throughout the year, they mainly occurred in the dry season, indicating the crucial role of weather even though it is not the direct cause of fire ignition. Our research shows that all types of forest functions in Indonesia have experienced fires, but approximately half of the studied fires occurred in conservation areas. More specifically, previous studies have been more dedicated to secondary forests. The studies generally pointed out that secondary forests are more prone to fires. More than a half of the existing scientific work was looking at human-induced fires, although natural hazards drove that came close. Regarding human-induced drivers, most research was dedicated to the links between fires and the use of fires in land preparation for both small-scale agricultural activities and commercial plantations. The impacts of forest fires have been the most studied topic among scholars on fires in Indonesia. More specifically, the existing research was focused on the ecological/ environmental effects dominated by studies on the impacts of air quality and biodiversity. Interestingly, the existing research rarely addressed other issues, such as local livelihoods and how they adapt to environmental changes.

“…The need to upscale and accelerate mangrove restoration will need realignment of the existing policies and synergies across institutions (Mursyid et al, 2021) to include financing, investments, and clear objectives through an overarching organization (e.g., UNFCCC; Waltham et al, 2020;Bhowmik et al, 2022). More importantly, the policies should consider mangrove restoration as part of the national development agenda (Mursyid et al, 2021;Arifanti et al, 2022a) that is integrated in the local coastal management plans (Quevedo et al, 2021a). If all AUU ponds are restored, there is a huge potential to contribute to each country's nationally determined contribution (NDC) targets.…”

Mangroves provide valuable ecological and socio-economic services. The importance of mangroves is particularly evident in Southeast (SE) Asia where the most extensive and diverse forests are found. To recover degraded mangroves, several SE Asian countries have implemented restoration programs. However, to date, there has been no systematic and quantitative synthesis on mangrove restoration studies in the region. Here, we provide a bibliometric-based analysis of mangrove restoration to provide understanding on trends and future directions needed to meet biodiversity and restoration targets in the region. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, we analyzed 335 articles (249 articles with ecological attributes; 86 articles with social attributes) published until February 2022 from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Mangrove restoration studies with ecological and social attributes started around the early 1990s mostly from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Majority of SE Asian countries have stronger collaboration to western countries rather than within the region. Reasons for restoration vary per country, but mostly were intended to rehabilitate damaged mangroves. Direct planting was the most common restoration method used while hydrological rehabilitation was less practiced. Research on ecological attributes were dominated by biodiversity-related studies focused on flora and fauna, and less on other ecosystem services (e.g., coastal protection, fisheries production, etc.). Studies with social attributes only accounted for <30% of the publications, mostly on topics related to ecological economics. Although mangrove restoration studies are apparent, some thematic restoration foci are needed. We propose priority research topics to help achieve the biodiversity and restoration targets by 2030.
