Background and scopeMangroves provide several ecosystem goods and services to society. However, mangroves are frequently subjected to land conversion, overharvesting, and pollution including increased nitrogen (N) availability. Aiming to provide useful information to predict effects of N enrichment on mangroves, we evaluated literature data on N transformation rates in sediment, dissolved N (DN) fluxes across the sediment-water interface, and natural abundance of N stable isotopes (δ15N) in the sediment-plant system in conserved mangroves and those subjected to anthropogenic N enrichment.
