This research investigates how nitrogen pollution influences the reproduction and northward migration of black mangroves under climate change. Increased nitrogen boosts reproduction, potentially accelerating coastal expansion. As mangroves protect shorelines from erosion and storms, understanding these dynamics is crucial for environmental management and climate adaptation strategies.

This research investigates whether small mangrove patches can effectively protect coastal areas from hurricanes. Using insect biodiversity and environmental DNA, it evaluates ecosystem functionality across patch sizes. The goal is to identify the minimum viable size for resilient mangrove systems, informing urban planning and improving coastal protection in space-limited environments.
