Abstract

Brazil’s coastline contains landscape features that are favorable for mangrove development. By revisiting the 1990 paper entitled “Variability of Mangroves Along the Brazilian Coast,” we review aspects of the notion of variability, considering coasts among the most dynamic places on the planet, shifting from a theoretical to an empiric approach. In the previous work, hereafter referred to as the 1990 paper, we suggested mangroves developed in seven out of eight coastal segments inspired by the coastal environmental settings’ framework. We expand the previous work using concepts of complex systems theory to illuminate contemporaneous coastal management issues related to multiple spatial and temporal scales. Here, we suggest that these eight segments occur within three major process domains: Northernmost Domain, Central Deltaic Coast Domain, and Cabo Frio do Laguna Domain, where different factors work together to form geoecological characteristics that are unique, and irreplaceable if lost.
