What is Mangrove Expansion in Nanliu Estuary about?
This research investigates the rapid expansion of mangrove forests in the Nanliu River estuary, Beibu Gulf of China, triggered by a low river discharge episode from 1986. Using multispectral Landsat images from 1985 to 2018, the study reveals that mangroves have significantly replaced salt marshes, with an average expansion rate of 18 ha per year. The findings highlight the sensitivity of estuarine wetlands to salinity variations and the ecological implications of mangrove dynamics in coastal environments.
