Threat Detection Technique in Context to Mangrove Ecosystem of Indian Sundarbans

Abstract: The mangrove ecosystem in the lower Gangetic delta is one of the most biologically productive and taxonmically diverse ecosystems of the tropics, which is threatened by a variety of stressors. The main threats operating in this fragile ecosystem are erosion, natural disasters (like cyclone, wave actions, tidal surges etc), over exploitation of natural resources, pollution, siltation, sea level rise etc. In this research, we have attempted to develop a mechanism to evaluate and rank the magnitude of threats bas… Show more

“…Even though numerous studies on tropical plant biomass have been carried out in the last years (Valentini et al 2014;Battipaglia et al 2015;Cazzolla Gatti et al 2015;Avitabile et al 2016;Vaglio Laurin et al 2016) and some have focused on mangroves wood production, forest conservation and ecosystem management (Putz and Chan 1986;Tamai et al 1986;Komiyama et al 1987;Clough and Scott 1989;Chaudhuri and Choudhury 1994;McKee 1995;Ong et al 1995;Mitra and Pal 2002;, this study represents the first evidence showing the impact of salinity changes due to a combination of climatic and other anthropogenic changes on a mangrove species in the Indian Sundarbans.…”

“…The central sector represents a hypersaline environment due to complete obstruction of the fresh water flow from the upstream region owing to Bidyadhari siltation since the late fifteenth century. Local people extraction of timber and logging procedures did not differ between the two sectors (Mitra and Pal 2002).…”

“…The steep enhancement of astaxanthin level in the inundated Sundari leaves (Heritiera fomes) irrespective of the sampling stations (space) clearly reflects the highest degree of stress posed by water salinity on this species. Heritiera fomes, being fresh water loving mangrove species cannot tolerate high salinity [32] and hence acceleration of astaxanthin production may probably be a part of its adaptation to cope with the stenohaline condition of coastal and estuarine environment that becomes acute during high tide. The astaxanthin level of mangrove flora is thus a function of its physiological system, which is extremely species specific.…”
