Completed (successful/maintained)

Country: Mexico

Goal

Technique: Hydrological restoration - facilitation of a natural recovery Restoration actions focused on hydrological rehabilitation by desilting tidal channels and modifying the microtopography to enhance or restore water flow. As a result of these efforts, a population of black mangrove established naturally. Six sampling sites including restored and reference areas were established. We measured seedling survival; tree density, height, and growth rate; and the physical and chemical chara Spatial extent 314 ha as reported. Reported project duration 3,8 year(s). Average survival 29,8% as reported.

Method: Spatial extent reported in the source: Perez-Ceballos R, Echeverria-Avila S, Zaldivar-Jimenez A, Zaldivar-Jimenez T, Herrera-Silveira J (2017) Contribution of microtopography and hydroperiod to the natural regeneration of Avicennia germina.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
