Grist: Gday, mate! is not something you want to say to Australias mangroves right now. And that`s not just because trees can`t speak to humans. It`s because they recently experienced their worst devastation in recorded history. Aerial surveys reveal that the mangrove die-off spans more than 400 miles in the Gulf of Carpentaria along Australia`s northern coast, ABC reports. Mangroves - trees and shrubs that grow along the coast where the tide comes in - were already stressed out thanks to erratic...

ADJewish World: A massive die-off of mangrove swamps along the northern coast of Australia was linked to climate change by a leading scientist on Monday. More than 7,000 hectares of dead mangroves along a remote 700-kilometre stretch of coastline was filmed from a helicopter by scientists over the weekend after reports from indigenous rangers about One Response to "Massive mangrove die-off in Australia linked to climate change" There is just as much evidence to support the theory that the die-off was done...

Guardian: Climate change and El Nio have caused the worst mangrove die-off in recorded history, stretching along 700km of Australias Gulf of Carpentaria, an expert says. The mass die-off coincided with the worlds worst global coral bleaching event, as well as the worst bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef, in which almost a quarter of the coral was killed something also caused by unusually warm water. And last week it was revealed warm ocean temperatures had wiped out 100km of important kelp...

Aljazeera: Thousands of hectares of important ecosystem have been wiped out in Northern Australia. Climate change has triggered a massive die-off of mangroves along the northern coast of Australia, according to scientists at the country's James Cook University. Professor Norm Duke, who is also the spokesman for the Australian Mangrove and Saltmarsh Network, said in a statement on the university's website that the scale and magnitude of the loss appeared "unprecedented and deeply concerning". Mangrove...

Agence France-Presse: Thousands of hectares of mangroves in Australia's remote north have died, scientists said Monday, with climate change the likely cause. Some 7,000 hectares (17,300 acres), or nine percent of the mangroves in the Gulf of Carpentaria, perished in just one month according to researchers from Australia's James Cook University, the first time such an event has been recorded. The so-called dieback -- where mangroves are either dead or defoliated -- was confirmed by aerial and satellite surveys and...
