Series: Wetlands: Ecology, Conservation and Management

Mangroves are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems on Earth, providing a range of ecosystem services that benefit millions of people and support global sustainability goals. However, mangroves are also highly vulnerable to climate

change impacts, such as sea level rise, storms, salinity changes, and erosion, which threaten their survival and functionality. This book aims to provide researchers with the latest scientific knowledge and practical tools to understand, assess, and enhance the adaptation and resilience of mangroves to climate change. It covers topics such as mangrove ecology and distribution, mangrove ecosystem services and valuation, mangrove adaptation and resilience mechanisms and indicators, mangrove restoration and conservation strategies, mangrove governance and policy frameworks, and mangrove modelling and mapping approaches. The book also showcases case studies from different regions of the world, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of mangrove management in a changing world. The book is intended to serve as a valuable reference and resource for researchers, students, practitioners, policymakers, and anyone interested in mangrove science and management.
