Hurricane impacts on a mangrove forest in the Dominican Republic : damage patterns and early recovery
(2006)
On 22 September 1998, Hurricane Georges passed over the Dominican Republic causing extensive damage to a 4700 ha mangrove forest that has been the site of a detailed study of vegetation and ecosystem dynamics since 1994. ...
Spatial patterns of biomass and aboveground net primary productivity in a mangrove ecosystem in the Dominican Republic
(2003)
The objective of this study was to quantify spatial patterns in above and below ground biomass, primary productivity, and growth efficiency along a tidal gradient in a 4700-ha mangrove forest in the Dominican Republic. We ...
Small-scale disturbance and regeneration dynamics in a neotropical mangrove forest
(2000)
Mangrove forests are affected by a variety of natural disturbances that differ in scale, intensity and frequency. Small canopy gaps, although common, have not been well studied. We examined the role of lightning-created ...
