“…Importantly, not all forms of land-use changes degrade mangroves uniformly. Mangroves converted for aquaculture can naturally recover if left undisturbed 36 , while other land-uses range between permanency (e.g. urban developments and oil palm plantations) and transiency (e.g.…”

fragmentation is a major driver of ecosystem degradation, reducing the capacity of habitats to provide many important ecosystem services. Mangrove ecosystem services, such as erosion prevention, shoreline protection and mitigation of climate change (through carbon sequestration), depend on the size and arrangement of forest patches, but we know little about broad-scale patterns of mangrove forest fragmentation. Here we conduct a multi-scale analysis using global estimates of mangrove density and regional drivers of mangrove deforestation to map relationships between habitat loss and fragmentation. Mangrove fragmentation was ubiquitous; however, there are geographic disparities between mangrove loss and fragmentation; some regions, like cambodia and the southern caribbean, had relatively little loss, but their forests have been extensively fragmented. in Southeast Asia, a global hotspot of mangrove loss, the conversion of forests to aquaculture and rice plantations were the biggest drivers of loss (>50%) and fragmentation. Surprisingly, conversion of forests to oil palm plantations, responsible for >15% of all deforestation in Southeast Asia, was only weakly correlated with mangrove fragmentation. Thus, the management of different deforestation drivers may increase or decrease fragmentation. Our findings suggest that large scale monitoring of mangrove forests should also consider fragmentation. this work highlights that regional priorities for conservation based on forest loss rates can overlook fragmentation and associated loss of ecosystem functionality.Mangroves are intertidal wetlands found along coastlines in much of the tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate world. These forests provide valuable ecosystem services including preventing erosion 1 , providing habitat for fisheries species 2 , protecting coastal communities from extreme weather events 3,4 and storing large reserves of blue carbon, thus mitigating global climate change 5 . The services provided by mangroves are threatened by anthropogenic processes including deforestation 6 and sea-level rise 7,8 . Historically, mangroves were subject to high rates of deforestation of up to 3.6% per annum 9 . However, since the turn of the millennium global mangrove deforestation rates have slowed, with annual loss rates of 0.2-0.7% 10,11 . Lower rates of loss are due to near total historical loss of forest patches in some regions, but also improved conservation practices 11 and improvements in large scale monitoring techniques that provide more accurate estimates of cover and loss than were available historically 10,12 . The majority of contemporary mangrove loss occurs in Southeast Asia, where ~50% of the remaining global mangrove forest area is located, with nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar continuing to show losses of 0.26, 0.41 and 0.70% per year, respectively 10 .Recently, researchers have highlighted that simply reporting mangrove total loss rates is insufficient for prioritising conservation actions 11 , if there is insufficient knowledge...

An Analysis of the Early Regeneration of Mangrove Forests using Landsat Time Series in the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve, Peninsular Malaysia

Time series of satellite sensor data have been used to quantify mangrove cover changes at regional and global levels. Although mangrove forests have been monitored using remote sensing techniques, the use of time series to quantify the regeneration of these forests still remains limited. In this study, we focus on the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve (MMFR) located in Peninsular Malaysia, which has been under silvicultural management since 1902 and provided the opportunity to investigate the use of Landsat annual time series (1988–2015) for (i) detecting clear-felling events that take place in the reserve as part of the local management, and (ii) tracing back and quantifying the early regeneration of mangrove forest patches after clear-felling. Clear-felling events were detected for each year using the Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) derived from single date (cloud-free) or multi-date composites of Landsat sensor data. From this series, we found that the average period for the NDMI to recover to values observed prior to the clear-felling event between 1988 and 2015 was 5.9 ± 2.7 years. The maps created in this study can be used to guide the replantation strategies, the clear-felling planning, and the management and monitoring activities of the MMFR.

“…Situations of aggravated erosion or low shoreline recovery have been reported from other coasts where mangroves have been removed (e.g., Mazda et al, 2002;van Wesenbeeck et al, 2015;Proisy et al, 2018). Unfortunately, these effects are not understood or considered in shoreline management perspectives in the Guianas.…”

Exceptional rates and mechanisms of muddy shoreline retreat following mangrove removal

Probably the largest regular shoreline fluctuations on Earth occur along the 1500 km‐long wave‐exposed Guianas coast of South America between the mouths of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers, the world's longest muddy coast. The Guianas coast is influenced by a succession of mud banks migrating northwestward from the Amazon. Migrating mud banks dissipate waves, partially weld onshore, and lead to coastal progradation, aided by large‐scale colonization by mangroves, whereas mangrove‐colonized areas between banks (inter‐bank areas) are exposed to strong wave action and undergo erosion. On large tracts of this coast, urbanization and farming have led to fragmentation and removal of mangroves, resulting in aggravated shoreline retreat. To highlight this situation, we determined, in a setting where mangroves and backshore freshwater marshes have been converted into rice polders in French Guiana, shoreline change over 38 years (1976‐2014) from satellite images and aerial orthophotographs. We also conducted four field experiments between October 2013 and October 2014, comprising topographic and hydrodynamic measurements, to determine mechanisms of retreat. The polder showed persistent retreat, at peak rates of up to ‐200 m/yr, and no recovery over the 38‐year period of monitored change. Notwithstanding high erosion rates, mangrove shorelines show strong resilience, with recovery characterized by massive accretion. Retreat of the polder results in a steep wave‐reworked shoreface with a lowered capacity for bank welding onshore and mangrove establishment. Persistent polder erosion is accompanied by the formation of a sandy chenier that retreats landwards at rates largely exceeding those in inter‐bank situations. These results show that anthropogenic mangrove removal can durably modify the morphodynamics of muddy shorefaces. This limits the capacity for shoreline recovery and mangrove re‐establishment even when there is no sustained long‐term deficit in mud supply, as in the case of the Amazon‐influenced Guianas coast. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
