TLDR
In this article, the authors show that carbon stock is lower in the tropical mangrove forest than in the terrestrial tropical forest and their annual increase exhibits faster turn over than the tropical forest.About:

Examining the ecosystem health and sustainability of the world's largest mangrove forest using multi-temporal MODIS products
TL;DR: This paper argues that forest degradation can occur discontinuously within the forest without alteration of the entire forest area, and identifies certain anthropogenic stressors and natural stressors which might be responsible for the observed degradation.

Mangrove forests store high densities of carbon across the tropical urban landscape of Singapore
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the regulating ecosystem service of carbon storage, and estimated mangrove carbon stocks for Singapore using a combination of field and remote sensing techniques, and found that Singapore's mangroves may store 450,571.7 Mg C, which is equivalent to the average annual carbon emissions of 621,000 residents.

Biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen in a tropical mangrove ecosystem, east coast of India
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a box model approach to assess the nitrogen budget in the Sundarban mangrove ecosystem, which acts as a sink for atmospheric nitrogen in terms of NOx, NH3, N2, and water column dissolved inorganic nitrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exportation of dissolved (inorganic and organic) and particulate carbon from mangroves and its implication to the carbon budget in the Indian Sundarbans.
TL;DR: Results revealed that mangrove plant derived organic matter and its subsequent degradation is the primary source of DIC and DOC in the Hooghly estuary whereas POC is linked to soil erosion.

TL;DR: Building on two previous studies for AAB and MHJ, USGS maps produced from Landsat data are employed to produce detailed, contemporary mangrove maps for TMD and BdA, providing improved detail and accuracy over the USGS national-level maps.

Standard methods for the examination of water and waste water.
TL;DR: Alkalinity measurements are used in the interpretation and control of water and wastewater treatment processes and can be interpreted in terms of specific substances only when the chemical composition of the sample is known.
BookDOI
Methods of seawater analysis
TL;DR: The Automatic Determination of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) by Wet Chemical Oxidation is described in this paper, along with the results of HPLC analysis of photosynthetic pigments.
Book
Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on one major aspect of cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles, and provide an account of the major characteristics of atmospheric aerosol particles.
Soil and plant analysis.
TL;DR: Piper as discussed by the authors presents a survey of methods for soil and plant analysis, with a focus on a specific analysis or group of related analyses, and gives the working details of all or nearly all the existing methods.
