TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified whole-ecosystem carbon storage by measuring tree and dead wood biomass, soil carbon content, and soil depth in 25 mangrove forests across a broad area of the Indo-Pacific region.

TL;DR: A review of findings in the non-economic fire social science literature and identification of future research needs can be found in this paper, with a focus on attitudes towards pre-fire mitigation, social acceptability of fire and fuels management, community preparedness, public response during fires, citizen-agency communications and post-fire recovery.

TL;DR: Overall, a body of individuals who understand the fire risk, are taking numerous mitigation actions, and think that these actions have reduced their risk are found.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured total ecosystem C storage (above and below ground) in mangrove ecosystems in North Sulawesi, Central Kalimantan and Central Java, Indonesia.

TL;DR: This paper examined public acceptance of fuels treatments and influencing factors in five neighbourhoods in Oregon and Utah located adjacent to public lands and found that citizen trust in agency managers to successfully implement treatment activities is particularly influential on treatment acceptance.
