Assessing the effectiveness of mangrove rehabilitation using above-ground biomass and structural diversity.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Understanding the carbon sequestration potential of undisturbed and rehabilitated mangrove ecosystems is crucial for mitigating the effects of climate change. In this study, the above-ground biomass (AGB) and structural complexity of natural, rehabilitated and regenerated mangrove forest stands were investigated. Using 32 years of Landsat time series-based normalized difference infrared index data and transect field inventory methods, we examined species and structural diversity as well as AGB distribution across 24 plots spanning a gradient from sea to land. A common allometric model and linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the influence of species diversity, structural complexity, and tree density on AGB. The results revealed that natural mangrove stands exhibited higher AGB, structural complexity, and species diversity than the rehabilitated and regenerated stands. The Shannon diversity index had a negligible effect on AGB, whereas structural complexity significantly influenced AGB in natural stands. This may be attributed to the predominance of rehabilitated monoculture and less diverse scrub mangroves in natural stands. Total AGB ranged from 45.05 to 536.48 tons/ha in natural stands and from 61.57 to 98.99 tons/ha in rehabilitated stands. Our findings illustrate the challenges (e.g., high-density plantation practices, lack of species diversity, and unsuitable site conditions for planted species) associated with current rehabilitation efforts and provide insights for optimizing future rehabilitation strategies.
