The potential for mangrove and seagrass blue carbon in Small Island States
(2023)Blue carbon is attracting substantial interest as a natural climate solution. Focus has been on countries with large blue carbon stocks, though the high carbon densities of blue carbon ecosystems make them suitable for ... -
Tropical cyclones and the organization of mangrove forests : a review
(2020)Background: Many mangrove ecosystems are periodically exposed to high velocity winds and surge from tropical cyclones, and often recover with time and continue to provide numerous societal benefits in the wake of storm ... -
Mangroves as coastal protection for local economic activities from hurricanes in the Caribbean
(2021)In recent decades, hurricane frequency and intensity have increased in the Caribbean Basin. From 2000 to 2012, more than 100 hurricanes impacted lives, infrastructure, and economic activity along the region’s shorelines. ... -
Global significance of mangrove blue carbon in climate change mitigation
(2020)Mangrove forests store and sequester large area-specific quantities of blue carbon (Corg). Except for tundra and peatlands, mangroves store more Corg per unit area than any other ecosystem. Mean mangrove Corg stock is 738.9 ... -
Preservation and recovery of mangrove ecosystem carbon stocks in abandoned shrimp ponds
(2019)Mangrove forests capture and store exceptionally large amounts of carbon and are increasingly recognised as an important ecosystem for carbon sequestration. Yet land-use change in the tropics threatens this ecosystem and ...
