Tropical cyclones are large-scale disturbances that can shape the structure and dynamics of mangrove forests. Although tropical cyclone activity overlaps extensively with the latitudinal distribution of mangrove forests, the relationships between cyclone intensity and frequency and mangrove forest canopy damage and recovery are not understood at the global scale. Using remote sensing data, we examined how mangrove forest structure, climate and cyclone characteristics influence canopy cover loss and recovery dynamics.

干扰频率、强度和森林结构调节气旋引起的红树林冠层覆盖变化

热带气旋是大规模干扰，可以塑造红树林的结构和动态。尽管热带气旋活动与红树林的纬度分布广泛重叠，但在全球范围内尚不清楚气旋强度和频率与红树林冠层破坏和恢复之间的关系。我们使用遥感数据研究了红树林结构、气候和气旋特征如何影响冠层覆盖损失和恢复动态。
