英文摘要 | Many communities around the world face a pressing need to increase coastal resilience due to widespread coastal erosion and rising sea levels. Natural habitats such as mangrove forests have been increasingly recognised for their ability to protect coastlines through wave attenuation and sediment deposition and stabilisation. However, attempts to rehabilitate mangroves for coastal protection have been met with difficulties due to smaller windows of opportunity for seedling survival at sites experiencing high wave energy and erosion. In this study, we planted the mangrove Avicennia alba in planting pods (n = 348) deployed on an eroding shoreline in Singapore and compared survival to those planted in control plots. Several ecological factors that might influence A. alba survival were manipulated, such as life stage during planting, reduction of wrack accumulation, elevation, and post-planting maintenance. We found that mangrove pods significantly increased mangrove seedling survival. Planting older A. alba seedlings, reducing wrack accumulation, and deploying the pods at a higher elevation further increased survival. Additionally, pressure gauges deployed showed that the pods were able to attenuate wave energy, thus providing hydrodynamic shelter to mangroves. Hybrid living shorelines have the potential to facilitate mangrove rehabilitation through the alleviation of adverse environmental conditions, but other ecological requirements for mangrove seedling survival will need to be met to optimise rehabilitation efforts. |
