“…This also results in a decrease in both the number and type of mangroves and the process of mangrove degradation [18]. Benthic fauna can be influeced by pH and salinity [19]. The other studies also reported that salinity was positively correlated and a crucial factor in diversity [20] and gastropoda can be used a long -term monitoring in planted mangrove [21].…”

Mangroves have different natural and unnatural conditions and are known as marine habitats. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between gastropods and environmental conditions for monitoring mangrove rehabilitation. The research was conducted from 8th to 16th October 2023 at Bengkalis Island, Riau Province, Indonesia. This research used a survey method with observation of mangroves, marine biota, and environmental parameters on landward, mid ward and seaward. The measurement of marine biota was conducted using a transect of 25 cm x 25 cm and environmental parameters included pH using a pH meter, salinity using a refractometer, and sediment type analysis. pH and salinity values ranged from 5-8 and 14-35 psu. The number of gastropods found was 5 (five) specimens in Bengkalis Island. In general, based on morphology, the weight of each of the largest showed T. telescopium > L. angulifera > C. cingulata > C. obtusa > C. angulifera. The results showed that natural mangroves described more various gastropods. Salinity and pH can also be used as a major limiting factor for mangrove rehabilitation monitoring.

In recent decades, mangrove wetlands globally have suffered from human activities and climate change, leading to issues like area reduction, degraded ecological functions and declining biodiversity. Restoration efforts, primarily through mangrove afforestation (i.e. mangrove plantation in mudflats), have been widespread, yet they often overlook the significance of unvegetated mudflats. In addition, under the condition that the total area of suitable mudflats is limited, the problem of what is the threshold of mangrove forests and unvegetated mudflats to better protect mangrove biodiversity has not been solved. Therefore, this study conducted a field survey of molluscs in mangrove wetlands in Hainan Island in China and explored the relative importance of mangroves and unvegetated mudflats through taxonomic alpha diversity and functional diversity. The results showed that (1) mollusc abundance of unvegetated mudflats was notably higher than this of mangrove forests, and the species richness, functional richness and functional vulnerability were significantly lower than those of mangrove forests; (2) the abundance and functional vulnerability of molluscs were mainly affected by sediment properties (pH, interstitial water salinity, median diameter, total nitrogen, C/N ratio), while the species richness and functional richness of molluscs were primarily influenced by vegetation structure (plant density); and (3) retaining at least 20% of the unvegetated mudflat area could well protect the biodiversity of mangrove wetlands. To our knowledge, our study is the first to propose the proportion of mangrove forests and unvegetated mudflats on the basis of benthic biodiversity, providing theoretical support and decision‐making reference for mangrove protection and restoration.
