“…Concerning mangroves, persistent eutrophication may cause adverse effects, although they have the potential to assimilate nutrients and may be considered nutrient sinks [9]. They thus have a huge demand for nutrients to support metabolism, growth, and primary productivity [10,11]. Mangroves grow at the edge of the land and sea, forming intertidal forests, and have developed morphological and physiological adaptations to extreme conditions, delivering a wide range of ecosystem services supporting local and regional coastal communities [10,12,13].…”

“…Mangroves have been considered for phytoremediation purposes due to their associated sediments, which house a variety of bacteria and fungi that assist in the cycling of nutrients and the immobilization and stabilization of several types of contaminants, minimizing and preventing their spread [10,11]. Furthermore, due to their large biomass, they can accumulate high amounts of contaminants while also reaching deep sources of contamination due to their extensive root system.…”

“…Furthermore, due to their large biomass, they can accumulate high amounts of contaminants while also reaching deep sources of contamination due to their extensive root system. The phytoremediation of inorganic and organic compounds, using mangroves, can be achieved mainly through phytoextraction, phytostabilization, phytostimulation or rhizofiltration, and phytodegradation [11]. Using mangroves as a phytoremediation tool can be considered a phytotechnology to support the phytomanagement of extensive areas.…”

Eutrophication due to anthropogenic nutrient inputs is a serious issue in many coastal and marine environments. Mangrove plants form unique intertidal forests at the edge of the land and sea, forming multifunctional ecosystems that provide an array of services, such as the phytoremediation of pollutants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the levels of nutrients (PO43−, NO2−, NO3−, NH4+) in the coastal waters around Macao SAR, in areas with and without mangroves, in order to assess their phytoremediation potential. The work was reinforced through a mesocosm experiment with various treatments with and without mangroves. The results of the field investigations indicated a high degree of eutrophication in the coastal waters of Macao, with average values of 0.30 mg/L, 0.09 mg/L, 23.8 mg/L, and 0.36 mg/L of phosphate, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonium, respectively. There were no apparent significant differences in the levels of nutrients in areas with and without mangroves, which was most likely caused by the conditions during sampling as well as the density of the mangrove forest. The mesocosm experiments, however, revealed a clearer effect of the presence of mangroves (and sediments) in the degradation of nutrients. Therefore, it is highly recommended to plant more mangroves to help mitigate coastal water eutrophication in the area as a phytoremediation approach.

Mangrove revegetation is a vital strategy to recover ecosystem services (e.g., climate regulation and pollutants retention) provided by these ecosystems. Although soils are directly or indirectly responsible for diverse ecosystem services in mangrove ecosystems, few studies have focused on the recovery of soil functions (e.g., carbon sequestration) after mangrove replanting. This study aimed to evaluate the recovery of soil processes associated with Fe, S, and C dynamics and its implications for the restoration of soil functions. Two mangrove sites under replanting initiatives were studied along the Brazilian coast (i.e., NE and SE). The study was conducted in 3- and 7-year-old replanted mangrove forests, and a comparison was made with degraded and mature mangroves. Particle size, soil C stocks, Fe forms, total Fe and S contents, degrees of pyritization of Fe, and mineralogical assemblages were assessed. Seven years after replanting, soil C stocks increased by 42% and 29% in mangrove soils from the NE and SE sites, respectively. In addition, significant increases were observed in fine particles, reactive Fe, and pyrite contents in replanted plots. These new conditions promoted organic matter accumulation, stabilization, and potential metal retention. Our findings highlight the potential of revegetation programs for recovering soil processes and essential soil functions.
