Overview
- Analyzes mangrove ecological processes at the local, biogeographic, and global scales
- Integrates ecological and socio-ecological perspectives on mangrove function and management
- Explores the nexus between mangrove ecology and the capacity for ecosystem services, with an emphasis on thresholds, multiple stressors, and local conditions

About the editors
Victor H. Rivera-Monroy is associate professor in the Department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences, College of the Coast and Environment at Louisiana State University. He has performed ecological studies in mangrove-dominated ecosystems for the last 20 years in Latin America, particularly research on biogeochemistry, wetland productivity and restoration issues. Currently he is member of both the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE) Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) program funded by the US National Science Foundation and the Mexican LTER program.
Shing Yip (Joe) Lee is a professor at the School of Life Sciences and director of the Simon S.F. Li Marine Science Laboratory at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His work on mangroves is focused on the ecosystem processes of mangroves, particularly the role of key fauna in trophodynamics. He has been working on mangroves in Southeast Asia and Australia since 1985. He was appointed founding co-chair of the
IUCNSpecialist Group on Mangroves in 2013.Erik Kristensen is professor at the Institute of Biology, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark. For over three decades he has traveled to many mangrove areas in Africa, Asia and Australia to do his research. This has been a simple necessity given the lack of mangrove forests in his home country. His research is focused on carbon, sulfur, iron and nitrogen biogeochemistry in mangrove sediments as well as food web dynamics among mangrove benthos.
Robert R. Twilley is professor in the Department of Oceanography and coastal Sciences, College of the Coast and Environment at Louisiana State University. He has performed research in new and old world mangrove ecosystems during the last 25 years, with emphasis on system ecology and biogeochemistry, conceptual and simulation models, coastal ecosystem restoration and nutrient dynamics. He is currently the executive director of the LSU-based Louisiana Sea Grant Col
lege Program at LSU.Bibliographic Information
