- Mangrove trees act important roles in the coastal ecosystems to sequester carbon, protect community against high-tide and storms, control land erosion and provide fish and bio-diversity. In the last few decades, the massive areas have devastated and they have planted by Rhizophora spp. to rehabilitate the coastal ecosystems. The trees were in dense intervals of 1.0-1.5 m. And worse, minimal forest management has conducted after the plantation, resulted in light competition of the canopy and inhibition of their growth. Such poor quality of the trees contributes little to the multi-ecological services of the mangrove trees. It is essential to adopt forest management and cultivate the resurgent trees. We examined thinning practice in the rehabilitated mangrove trees to find effects of tree numbers. In addition, all thinned trees were quantified and their economic values as a local woody resource were evaluated.
