A new index developed by Brazilian researchers quantifies the health of mangrove soils across various conditions, including degraded, restored, and preserved areas.

This index has shown that restored mangrove ecosystems can reach levels of functionality comparable to their natural counterparts.

The implications of this research are significant for environmental management and restoration efforts, as it provides a measurable framework for assessing the success of mangrove restoration projects.
