For decades, the world’s mangrove forests have been shrinking rapidly due to human activity. Now they are making a comeback, according to a new study. Following conservation efforts in recent years, the forests have begun to heal themselves.
As the oceans warm, it becomes harder for fish in mangrove forests to breathe. This is shown by a unique new study from researchers at the University of Gothenburg. ‘In some systems, conditions will become so extreme that only the most adapted species will survive,’ says the study’s lead author, marine chemist Gloria Reithmaier.
