The effects of seaward distance on above and below ground carbon stocks in estuarine mangrove ecosystems

The effects of seaward distance on above and below ground carbon stocks in estuarine mangrove ecosystems

Abstract Background Mangrove forests have gained recognition for their potential role in climate change mitigation due to carbon sequestration in live trees, and carbon storage in the sediments trapped by mangrove tree roots and pneumatophores. Africa hosts about 19% of the world’s mangroves, yet re...
