Soil Health and Ecosystem Services in Mangrove Forests: A Global Overview
Fellipe A. O. Mello, Tiago O. Ferreira, Angelo F. Bernardino, Hermano M. Queiroz, Danilo C. Mello, Rafael B. Menillo e Maurício R. Cherubin Abstract This study analyzed the role of soil health (SH) and ecosystem services (ESs) in global mangrove research articles from 1958 to 2024. The SH approach is vital for evaluating mangroves’ ability […]

Mapping soil health research in the Brazilian Semiarid region: a bibliometric approach
Antonio Yan Viana Lima, Maurício Roberto Cherubin, Lucas Tadeu Greschuk, Gabriel de Almeida Mori Muniz, Douglas Monteiro Cavalcante and Arthur Prudêncio de Araujo Pereira Highlights The analysis revealed a significant increase in scientific output on SH in the Semiarid since 2020. Embrapa research centers were the main contributors to this progress. Revista Caatinga is the […]
Iron’s role in soil organic carbon (de)stabilization in mangroves under land use change
Francisco Ruiz, Angelo Fraga Bernardino, Hermano Melo Queiroz, Xosé Luis Otero, Cornelia Rumpel & Tiago Osório Ferreira Abstract Mangroves are coastal hotspots for carbon storage and yet face multiple threats from anthropogenic activities. Here we explore the role of iron-mediated organomineral interactions (FeOMIs) in soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization and their sensitivity to land use […]
