Mangrove Sediment Community, North Sulawesi, Indonesia

As part of the project "As Good as (G)Old? Comparing Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services of Restored and Natural Mangrove Forests in the Wallacea Region", a comprehensive ecosystem evaluation of established restored/rehabilitated and adjacent natural (reference) mangroves was performed, using ecological network analysis combined with next-generation sequencing, to observe whether restoration efforts of mangroves in the Wallacea region in Indonesia have been successful. This research was funded by grants from the UK Natural and Environmental Research Council (NERC) and Newton Fund Wallacea Projects, NE/S006990/1, and from the DRPM Ministry of Research Technology and Higher Education, Indonesia through the Basic Research Scheme, 201-01/UN7.P4.3/PP/2019. and 257-15/UN7.P4.3/PP/2019.
