摘要: Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year ecosystem services support coastal livelihoods worldwide. Globally, areas declining rapidly as they cleared for development aquaculture logged timber fuel production. Little is known about the effects area loss on individual local or regional populations. To address this gap, species-specific information global distribution, population status, life history traits, major threats were compiled 70 mangroves. Each species' probability extinction was assessed under Categories Criteria IUCN Red List Threatened Species. Eleven (16%) elevated threat extinction. Particular geographical concern include Atlantic Pacific coasts Central America, where many 40% mangroves present threatened with Across globe, found primarily high intertidal upstream estuarine zones, which often have specific freshwater requirements patchy distributions, most because first agriculture. The will devastating economic environmental consequences communities, especially those diversity loss. Several risk may disappear well before next decade if existing protective measures not enforced.
