2.2. Experimental design and parameters measures
The study area encompasses two adjacent areas (Fig. 1B) both deforested 3 years before the experiment started, so collection of any data on soil structure and tree development before deforestation was not possible. However, neighbor native forest was used as reference (Fig. 1B). Unfortunately, no area available for replication was found at the start of the experiment. Large scale experiments are sometimes hard to replicate decreasing power of conclusions, but they may be more realistic than experiments performed at lower scales, a trade-off imposed by costs and scarcity on experimental ecosystems (Carpenter, 1989 and Hurlbert, 1984). Additionally, peculiarities of the mangrove ecosystem and features of the studied areas imposed methodological limitations for dividing areas in more than one experimental unit without suffering from treatment contamination; therefore, the area was restored entirely through planting.
