A note on the ancient mangroves of Goa, central west coast of India
(NISCAIR, Indian, 1998)Organic peat deposits were observed 1.5 to 2.5 m below hinterland coastal plains, 20 km inland from the open sea coast. Red mud overlies peat. Sedimentological and mineralogical data revealed that peat was deposited in ... -
Assessment of the land use/land cover (LU/LC) and mangrove changes along the Mandovi–Zuari Estuarine complex of Goa, India
(Springer, 2015)Land use/land cover change dynamics along the estuarine complex of Mandovi–Zuari in the coastal state of Goa, India is studied by the application of multi-temporal remote sensing data. This tropical estuarine region has ... -
Change detection studies of Sagar Island, India, using Indian Remote Sensing Satellite 1C linear imaging self-scan sensor III data
(The Coastal Education and Research Foundation, 2007)The coastal zone of Sagar Island, West Bengal, India, is subjected to various cyclic and random processes that continuously modify the region. The shoreline and land-use/land cover changes have been studied using Indian ... -
Coastal vegetation: Patterns in a tourist region
(Tata Energy Research Institute, India, 2003)None of the coastal areas under study possess the rich sand dune flora characteristic of an undisturbed beach. The status of dune vegetation in tourism villages has been deteriorating as compared to that in the developing ... -
Distribution and dynamics of mangrove forests of South Asia..
(Elsevier, 2015)Mangrove forests in South Asia occur along the tidal sea edge of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. These forests provide important ecosystem goods and services to the region's dense coastal populations and support ... -
Ecological observations of major Salicornia beds from highly saline coastal wetlands of India
(Society of Wetland Scientists, 2002)Extensive Salicornia beds along the Gulf of Kutchchh (northwest) and Tamilnadu (southeast) coasts were investigated with respect to vegetative structure and ambient environmental conditions. The width of the beds varied ... -
Evaluation of mangrove ecosystem of India for assessing its vulnerability to projected climatic changes
(World Wide Fund for Nature-India, 2003)Mangrove habitats of ecological and socio-economic significance, forms thrust area under coastal zone management programme of the country. Global warming is expected to result in the global sea level rise affecting various ... -
Impact of climate change on mangrove forests along the south west coast: A case study from Kasargod, Kerala, India
(Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, 2004)Mangrove habitats are an important constituent of coastal wetlands. They are unique and located between sea and land, influenced by tidal and fresh water regimes, and hence are fragile in nature. The impact of sea level ... -
Manglicolous fungi from Chorao mangroves, Goa, West coast of India: Diversity and frequency of occurrence
(E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, 2013)In this paper marine fungi colonizing the decomposing substrata belonging to Rhizophora mucronata and Avicennia marina, at Chorao mangroves, Mandovi river, Goa, West coast of India, are reported. Totally, 45 fungal species ... -
Marine environmental intimidation to Sundarbans embankments
(Sundarban Affiars Department, WB, 2005)Protection of Sundarbans (West Bengal, India) embankments is an enormous task. There are many external forces that are responsible to destabilize the embankment. River flows with tides is responsible as one of the major ... -
Meiofaunal stratification in relation to microbial food in a tropical mangrove mud flat
(International Society of Tropical Ecology, Varanasi, India, 1993)The vertical gradients of meiofauna mainly in relation to biochemical changes and microbial abundance in the upper 20 cm of deposit of a mangrove mud flat were studied. Strong vertical gradients in the redox potential (Eh), ... -
Microbially mediated redox transformations of manganese (II) along with some other trace elements: a study from Antarctic lakes
(Springer, 2009)The significance of freshwater systems in global manganese cycles is well appreciated. Yet, the polar systems, which encompass the largest freshwater repository in the world, have been least studied for their role in ... -
Thraustochytrium gaertnerium sp. nov.: A new Thraustochytrid Stramenopilan protist from mangroves of Goa, India
(Elsevier, 2005)Thraustochytrids are ubiquitous, chemo-organotrophic, marine stramenipilan protists belonging to the class Labyrinthulomycetes. Their taxonomy is largely based on life cycle development stages. Described here is a new ... -
Vulnerability and adaptation of ecologically sensitive mangrove habitats to the changing climate
(2008)Maldive islands on Laccadive archipelago, from Indian Ocean sustain multi tier ecologically sensitive marine habitats in shallow and intertidal zones. They consist of coral, seagrass, seaweed, mangrove and sand dune ...
