Batch experiments were conducted to study the migration behavior of arsenic (As) and iron (bivalent, trivalent, and total Fe) of the presence of the low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) citric acid, malic acid, and oxalic acid in As-enriched mangrove sediments. The results for supernatant As/Fe species were significant according to each LMWOA treatment. Significant non-linear correlations were found among As level, pH, and acid dose based on our predictive model. The capacity of LMWOAs to mobilize As/Fe species followed the order of citric acid > malic acid/oxalic acid. The supernatant As correlated positively with the LMWOAs dose and negatively correlated with the pH. As migration was affected by acid strength, the number of carboxyl groups, the pH and levels of Fe compounds in the sediments. The results indicate that LMWOAs can potentially attenuate As contamination from mangrove sediment, allowing for a better understanding of As/Fe behavior in the rhizosphere.

Microplastic pollution poses a significant threat to coastal ecosystems worldwide. Despite its widespread occurrence, knowledge on the prevalence and fate of microplastics across food webs is limited. To bridge this gap, we conducted an extensive study on microplastic contamination in mudflats, mangroves, and sand beaches being key habitats for wintering shorebirds on the west coast of India.

The pervasive and escalating issue of toxic metal pollution has gathered global attention, necessitating the exploration of innovative ecological strategies like phytoremediation. This study explored the extent of potentially toxic metal contamination status and the effectiveness of three planted mangrove species (Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorhiza,and Excoecaria agallocha) in phytoremediation efforts to reduce pollution level. The results indicated that the mean concentrations of elements in the sediment of the area followed a descending sequence: Fe (27,136.

Mangrove ecosystems have attracted widespread attention because of their high salinity, muddy or sandy soil, and low pH, as well as being partly anoxic and periodically soaked by tides. Mangrove plants, soil, or sediment-derived fungi, especially the species, possess unique metabolic pathways to produce secondary metabolites with novel structures and potent biological activities. This paper reviews the structural diversity and biological activity of secondary metabolites isolated from mangrove ecosystem-derived species over the past 5 years (January 2020-October 2024), and 417 natural products (including 170 new compounds, among which 32 new compounds were separated under the guidance of molecular networking and the OSMAC approach) are described.
