Integrating a conceptual framework for the sustainable development goals in the mangrove ecosystem: A systematic review

Combining methods to conduct a systematic review and propose a conceptual and theoretical framework in socio-environmental research

“…These socio-environmental studies involve all areas of research, from environmental, innovation and technology to social sciences, as complex issues arise where solutions also need to be innovative. In this way, the review studies used to propose a conceptual and theoretical framework are a powerful tool for identifying gaps, challenges, and trends, as this involves planning, identifying, mapping, collecting, systematizing, reporting and visualizing data (theoretical and practical) over a given period of time [4 , 5] . Here, we present the SODIP methodology that proposes 5 steps to propose a framework based on systematic review studies combined with open access data, according to the needs of the study.…”

“…Specific goals of this study are (I) to identify studies on Brazil; and (II) to compare and contrast these with studies performed elsewhere.” [14] Analyzing 70 years of research output on South African estuaries using bibliometric indicators “This study examined scientific papers published in authoritative international journals authored by researchers working on South African estuaries between 1949 and 2020″ [15] Brazilian Mangroves: Blue Carbon Hotspots of National and Global Relevance to Natural Climate Solutions “We provide a direct comparison between mangroves and Brazil's other major vegetated biomes, identifying mangroves as a major carbon hotspot that can help meet Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), in addition to their significance as global coastal carbon sinks."

“… [63] X The theoretical framework for evaluation of cross-cultural training effectiveness “This review shows a trend toward the broadening of evaluation research, using many more dependent variables, with measurements obtained from many kinds of people.” [64] X Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance–Improving Conservation Outcomes “We provide a perspective on achieving these goals and targets, focusing on two key objectives: (1) identification of biases in the current global distribution of the Ramsar Site Network and (2) a conceptual adaptive management framework, linking maintenance of ecosystem dynamics with drivers of change.” [65] X A conceptual framework for systematic reviews of research in educational leadership and management “The purpose of this paper is to present a framework for scholars carrying out reviews of research that meet international standards for publication.” [66] X The Internet of Things: Review and theoretical framework “This study includes a systematic review and synthesis of IoT related literature and the development of a theoretical framework and conceptual model.” [67] X Integrating a conceptual framework for the sustainable development goals in the mangrove ecosystem: Asystematic review “A conceptual framework for the assessment of SDGs in relation to the mangrove ecosystem is needed to fulfil the Ramsar Sites Strategic Plan and the 2030 Agenda based on their ecosystem services in order to address the identified threats.” X
