Abstract

Due to the influence of human activities such as pond aquaculture, the mangrove forests in Lingshui,Hainan Province have been seriously encroached. Since 2016, Lingshui has started to implement the ecological restoration project of mangrove wetlands by returning the ponds for aquaculture to the forests. In order to understand the characteristics of macrobenthic community changes and their relationship with environmental factors during mangrove restoration, surveys were made of benthic macrofauna in mangrove forests at five different restoration stages（2017—2021） and one natural mangrove area in December 2022（dry season） and June 2023（rainy season）, respectively. A total of 30 species of benthic macrofauna belonging to 4 classes, 9orders and 18 families were collected and identified. The main dominant species in both natural and restored mangrove forests are gastropods and mollusks, such as the pearl-banded crab snail, the longitudinal-banded beach snail, the mangrove fiddler crab, etc. The number of species, habitat density, biomass and diversity index of mangrove macrobenthos in the mangrove restoration area showed an increasing trend with the increase of the restoration period, indicating that the community structure of benthic macrofauna was becoming more and more stable and the quality of mangrove habitats has been improved in the return-pond-to-forest restoration project.Moreover, in terms of seasonal distribution, the number of macrobenthic species and habitat density were higher in the dry season than in the rainy season; whereas the number of dominant species, biomass, and diversity indices were lower in the dry season than in the rainy season. Correlation analysis showed that pH and total nitrogen content of the sediment were the main environmental factors affecting the distribution of mangrove macrobenthos. All the results showed that the mangrove restoration project of returning ponds to forests had improved to some extent the eco-environment quality of the mangrove restoration area and that the community structure of the benthic macrofauna was obviously correlated with the restoration time, but it will take a long time to recover to the level of natural mangrove forests. These results can provide basic information for conservation of mangrove benthos microfauna diversity and ecological restoration of the mangroves.
