Cahoon, D. R., Hensel, P., Rybczyk, J., McKee, K. L., Proffitt, C. E., & Perez, B. C. (2003). Mass tree mortality leads to mangrove peat collapse at Bay Islands, Honduras after Hurricane Mitch. Journal of ecology, 91(6), 1093-1105. Central America/ Caribbean: Honduras Following Hurricane Mitch in 1998, few mangrove trees survived on the islands of Guanaja and Roatan.
