Article Synopsis
- Mangroves are crucial for capturing carbon and play a significant role in coastal ecosystems.
- This study measured the carbon storage and productivity of four mangrove species in a reserve in Shenzhen, China, finding varying carbon stocks: Avicennia marina had 28.7 t C·hm, Kandelia obovata 127.6 t C·hm, Sonneratia caseolaris 100.1 t C·hm, and Sonneratia apetala 73.6 t C·hm.
- Overall, these mangroves collectively sequester about 4000 t of CO2 annually, highlighting their importance for climate change mitigation and coastal management strategies.
