摘要

Mangroves provide enormous ecological and economic benefits to humankind. Despite their immense importance, such as providing a natural barrier against coastal erosion, segregating nutrients and sediment, and supporting daily life through food, fodder, building materials, huts, fences, resins, gums, and medicines, the mangrove ecosystem is among the most fragile ecosystems worldwide. In the era of global climate change and rapid population growth, with the associated problems, such as sea-level rise, coastal erosion, increasing temperature, and rapid land-use change, pose significant concern for scientists, management planners, and coastal communities. In such circumstances, mangrove research and management to safeguard these precious resources are the need of the hour. Therefore, the present review focused on geospatial studies of mangrove vulnerability around the World. 1577 mangrove and 146 mangrove vulnerability-related Scopus-indexed articles (1972- till date) were consulted, and the analysis was done with VOSviewer software. An extensive literature review was conducted, which included articles, conference papers, and reviews. Therefore, this review specifically concentrates on geospatial studies of mangrove vulnerability around the World. Major research work in this particular area has been represented graphically, highlighting thematic clusters, influential topics, and major challenging issues. The critical issues and areas necessitating vulnerability studies have been identified, which have significant implications for assessing vulnerability measures. Our findings reveal that research articles oriented from the USA, Australia, UK, China, and India are the most cited. In terms of mangrove vulnerability articles, India, the United States, Australia, and Brazil are among the top-ranked countries. Mangrove mapping and vulnerability-related research have progressed significantly since 2010, and Global-level mangrove mapping has remained a key area of research. The use of high spatial resolution satellite imagery and the application of modern techniques, such as machine learning, deep learning, fuzzy logic, support vector machines, and object-based image classification, is an evolving trend. The analysis of studies on mangrove vulnerability reveals that several commonly used vulnerability-related keywords are present, including rising sea levels, Coastal erosion, rising sea surface temperatures, Tsunamis, and Natural disasters. The results indicate a lack of studies on the causes and consequences of mangrove loss in Southeast Asian countries. The focus should be on vulnerability studies within the current global change regime, and further climate research is necessary to determine the impact of climate change on mangroves.
