Abstract EN
The study site is currently retreating at a rate of 20 m y−1 due to severe coastal erosion and found to be highly polluted as revealed from the water, sediment and biological analysis.
In an attempt to prevent coastal erosion, 14,000 Rhizophora mucronata (RM) trees were planted across a heavily eroded shoreline at Samut Sakhon, Thailand.
The survival rate of RM was high at the landward area and decreased at the offshore area.
The most landward plot showed the highest survival rate when measured 4 years after planting (63.5%), while only 26.7% of trees survived at the most offshore plot.
NPK and coconut fiber were shown to be significantly effective to enhance initial tree growths in heavily eroded area.
