“…Consequently, certain plant species may experience earlier or delayed bud break, flowering, and/or fruiting, hence facing an increased risk for attack by seasonal pests or unfavorable weather conditions (Rochette et al. ; Thampanya ; Henniges et al. ).…”

“…Notably, changes in climatic conditions have resulted in a phenological shift in many species across various taxonomic groups due to global warming (e.g., Fitter and Fitter 2002 ; Visser and Both 2005 ; Trnka et al 2011 ). Consequently, certain plant species may experience earlier or delayed bud break, flowering, and/or fruiting, hence facing an increased risk for attack by seasonal pests or unfavorable weather conditions (Rochette et al 2004 ; Thampanya 2006 ; Henniges et al 2007 ). Additionally, premature leaf fall (abscission) may also result from release of drought stress as has been witnessed in watered seedlings following severely dry conditions (Tudela and Primo-Millo 1992 ; Gómez-Cadenas et al 1996 ).…”

Sedimentation results in the creation of new mudflats for mangroves to colonize among other benefits. However, large sediment input in mangrove areas may be detrimental to these forests. The dynamics of phenological events of three mangrove tree species (Avicennia marina, Ceriops tagal, and Rhizophora mucronata) were evaluated under experimental sediment burial simulating sedimentation levels of 15, 30, and 45 cm.While there was generally no shift in timing of phenological events with sedimentation, the three mangrove tree species each responded differently to the treatments.Partially buried A. marina trees produced more leaves than the controls during the wet season and less during the dry season. Ceriops tagal on the other hand had higher leaf loss and low replacement rates in the partially buried trees during the first 6 months of the experiment but adapted with time, resulting in either equal or higher leaf emergence rates than the controls.Rhizophora mucronata maintained leaf emergence and loss patterns as the unaffected controls but had a higher fecundity and productivity in the 15-cm sedimentation level.The results suggest that under incidences of large sedimentation events (which could be witnessed as a result of climate change impacts coupled with anthropogenic disturbances), mangrove trees may capitalize on “advantages” associated with terrestrial sediment brought into the biotope, thus maintaining the pattern of phenological events.

“…Comparing the simulation results of the three different mangrove IBMs under similar scenario and disturbance regimes could evaluate the relative importance of recruitment and specific sapling dispersal mechanisms on regulating forest trajectories over time which have been suggested by empirical studies (e.g. Thampanya et al, 2002;Thampanya, 2006). Nevertheless, specific factors determining seedling and sapling survival rates such as predation are not explicitly formulated in model simulations.…”

Mangrove ecosystems are considered vulnerable to climate change as coastal development limits the ecosystem services and adaptations important to their survival. Although they appear rather simple in terms of species diversity, their ecology is complex due to interacting geophysical forces of tides, surface runoff, river and groundwater discharge, waves, and constituents of sediment, nutrients and saltwater. These interactions limit developing a comprehensive framework for science-based sustainable management practices. A suite of models have been developed independently by various academic and government institutions worldwide to understand the dynamics of mangrove ecosystems and to provide ecological forecasting capabilities under different management scenarios and natural disturbance regimes. The models have progressed from statistical tables representing growth and yield to more sophisticated models describing various system components and processes. Among these models are three individual-based models (IBMs) (FORMAN, KIWI, and MANGRO). A comparison of models' designs reveal differences in the details of process description, particularly, regarding neighbor competition among trees. Each model has thus its specific range of applications. Whereas FORMAN and KIWI are most suitable to address mangrove forest dynamics of stands, MANGRO focuses on landscape dynamics on larger spatial scale. A comparison of the models and a comparison of the models with empirical knowledge further reveal the general needs for further field and validation studies to advance our ecological understanding and management of mangrove wetlands. #
