This book presents a comprehensive overview and analysis of
mangrove ecological processes, structure, and function at the
local, biogeographic, and global scales and how these properties
interact to provide key ecosystem services to society. The analysis
is based on an international collaborative effort that focuses on
regions and countries holding the largest mangrove resources and
encompasses the major biogeographic and socio-economic settings of
mangrove distribution. Given the economic and ecological importance
of mangrove wetlands at the global scale, the chapters aim to
integrate ecological and socio-economic perspectives on mangrove
function and management using a system-level hierarchical analysis
framework. The book explores the nexus between mangrove ecology and
the capacity for ecosystem services, with an emphasis on
thresholds, multiple stressors, and local conditions that determine
this capacity. The interdisciplinary approach and illustrative
study cases included in the book will provide valuable resources in
data, information, and knowledge about the current status of one of
the most productive coastal ecosystem in the world.
