Ecological Restoration of Mangrove Forests: Early Ecological Responses to Hydrological Restoration in Eastern Africa

2026-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Mangrove forests in northern Mozambique were impacted by human and natural pressures that caused channel blockage, permanent flooding, and tree die back. To address the issue, hydrological restoration was carried out in August 2024, excavating 6.88 km of canals with impact in 38 ha of degraded mangrove. This study reports on the monitoring results carried out 4 and 10 months later. Site salinity approached optimal...
