| Description | Mangroves are often referred to as ecosystem engineers because of their influence on estuarine sediment dynamics and morphology. Yet, mangrove may also respond passively to morphologic change, and the impacts of mangrove extent on sediment- and hydro-dynamic are still poorly understood. A field study was conducted in Waikaraka Estuary, Tauranga Harbor, New Zealand, to investigate the impact of mangrove coverage on estuarine sediment dynamics. Mangroves expanded in the estuary from 1940 until...
