This paper studies the effect of urban trees on house prices in Amsterdam by utilizing a detailed data set of trees that were cut-down near the house. By using exogenous reasons the tree was cut-down such as disease or storm, unobserved heterogeneity can be dealt with, and a causal effect...

Uncertainties around deforestation influences on vector-borne disease transmission and prevalence means that varieties of forest management techniques must be included in evaluations of health management policies. This commentary presents ideas for improving malaria management policy in marginal...

Understanding the perception of mangrove managers about the ecosystem services (ES) that mangrove provides is important for the efficient design of conservation policies. The present study analyzes the perception of the stakeholders using a quantitative analysis based on latent profile analysis...

The Mangroves provides support in various ways regarding the safeguarding of the coastal section from the exasperation of environmental disasters instigated due to alteration of weather pattern, specifically providing so as to fight against the consequences like rising sea level, invasion of...

The present study was an attempt to conduct a mangrove rehabilitation program, propose possible mangrove based income generating project and eventually create an eco-tourism destination.The researcher selected 100 respondents which composed of; 50 resident and fisher folks of Tibaguin Hagonoy...

The present study intends to establish the relationship between the leaf size indices of Rhizophora apiculata relative to the zonation of the mangrove ecosystem in Masapelid Island. A transect line with 20 meters width and 160 meters length was established from the sandy soils up to the seaward...

A variety of essential goods and services can be provided by mangrove ecosystem which has significant contribution to wellbeing and security of coastal communities. Hence, conservation measures to sustain this valuable resource should be of primary concern to all stakeholders. The present study...

Mangroves provide essential ecosystem functions and services that support coastal communities. Despite their importance, they have been degraded and removed globally resulting in loss of resilience of coastlines, their communities, and economies. Myanmar in particular has suffered from high...

Abstract: Oil palm expansion in Indonesia is associated with a reduction in biodiversity and ecosystem services, as well as livelihood improvements for smallholder farmers. While this dichotomy highlights the importance of sustainable management options, empirical evidence on which policies are...

This paper evaluates whether mangroves can mitigate the impact of hurricanes on economic activity. The paper assembles a new, regionwide panel data set that measures local economic activity using nightlights, potential hurricane damages using a detailed hurricane windstorm model, and mangrove...

This paper contributes to understanding the physical and economic effects of salinity diffusion and planning for appropriate adaptation for managing the Sundarbans in a changing climate, with a focus on the West Bengal portion of the tidal-wetland forest delta. A five-step analysis, using...

Adaptation to climate change includes addressing sea level rise and increased storm surges in many coastal areas. Mangroves can substantially reduce the vulnerability of the adjacent coastal land from inundation and erosion. However, climate change poses a large threat to mangroves. This paper...

Mangrove forests can reduce the vulnerability of adjacent coastal lands from storm surges by slowing the flow of water. Although the potential utility of mangroves in disaster risk reduction is increasingly recognized by coastal managers, efficient use of this ecosystem-based protection is often...

Tree planting is widely advocated and applied in urban areas, with large-scale projects underway in cities globally. Numerous potential benefits are used to justify these planting campaigns. However, reports of poor tree survival raise questions about the ability of such projects to deliver on...

Intertidal mangrove forests are a dynamic ecosystem experiencing rapid changes in extent and habitat quality over geological history, today and into the future. Climate and sea level have drastically altered mangrove distribution since their appearance in the geological record ∼75 million...

The fragmentation of production across countries has become an important feature of the globalization in recent decades and is often conceptualized by the term, global value chains (GVCs). When empirically investigating the GVCs, previous studies are mainly interested in knowing how global the...

Much has been reported about the adverse effects of crude oil exploration as being an indispensable source of degradation in the environment of the Niger Delta Region in Nigeria. While the logical substance of such argument is not being contested, it is instructive to observe the existence of...

Planning is an important step that should be conducted in developing process. The urgent function in development planning is to argue, to direct and in a few things it would control socio-economic-cultural changes of people at a time period.A development planning process should be formulated by...
