Title

Burrow morphologies, crab characteristics and soil properties in different seasons across intertidal areas of a restored mangrove forest

Abstract

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.
