This work analysed burrow morphologies, crab characteristics and soil properties across intertidal areas of a restored mangrove forest. Burrows were larger in monsoon, occupied by the juvenile crabs, but smaller in summer, occupied by adults. The burrows were longer and deeper with increasing soil moisture. Burrowing crabs were abundant in Avicennia, and their female population was high in open mudflat. Sesarmids were pre-dominant in Rhizophora while fiddlers in Avicennia, but only fiddlers were present in open mudflat. This work suggested to maintain soil moisture and mudflat across intertidal mangrove areas, for managing the crab functionality in restored mangrove habitats.

这项工作分析了恢复的红树林潮间带的洞穴形态、螃蟹特征和土壤特性。季风时洞穴较大，被幼蟹占据，但在夏季较小，被成年蟹占据。随着土壤湿度的增加，洞穴变得更长更深。Avicennia 的穴居蟹数量众多，而它们的雌性种群在开阔的泥滩中居高不下。Sesarmids在Rhizophora中占主导地位，而在Avicennia中以提琴手为主，但在开放的泥滩中只有提琴手存在。这项工作建议保持潮间带红树林地区的土壤水分和泥滩，以管理恢复的红树林栖息地中的螃蟹功能。
