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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Cycling and Storage in Mangrove Forests
TL;DR: Of immediate concern are potential carbon losses to deforestation that are greater than these ecosystems' rates of carbon storage, and large reservoirs of dissolved inorganic carbon in deep soils are a large loss of carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon sequestration in mangrove forests
TL;DR: Mangroves are among the most carbon-rich biomes, containing an average of 937 tC ha-1, facilitating the accumulation of fine particles, and fostering rapid rates of sediment accretion (∼5 mm year -1) and carbon burial (174 gC m-2 year −1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem carbon stocks across a tropical intertidal habitat mosaic of mangrove forest, seagrass meadow, mudflat and sandbar
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a field-based carbon stock assessment of aboveground, belowground and sediment organic carbon stock to a depth of 1'm at Chek Jawa, Singapore.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical and contemporary cultural ecosystem service values in the rapidly urbanizing city state of Singapore
TL;DR: Singapore has undergone rapid urbanization after its independence in 1965, with a concomitant decline in natural habitat extent and accessibility, though mangroves still play an important cultural role in a heavily urbanized environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Variability and Carbon Stock Estimates of Mangrove Ecosystems in Northwestern Madagascar
TL;DR: This work focuses on Ambaro and Ambanja bays in Madagascar, presenting dynamics calculated using United States Geological Survey national-level mangrove maps and the first localized satellite imagery derived map of dominant land-cover types.

Changes in the carbon balance of tropical forests: evidence from long-term plots
Oliver L. Phillips,Yadvinder Malhi,Niro Higuchi,William F. Laurance,Percy Nuñez,R. Vásquez,Susan G. Laurance,Leandro Valle Ferreira,Margaret Stern,Sandra Brown,John Grace +10 more
TL;DR: Long-term monitoring of plots in mature humid tropical forests concentrated in South America revealed that biomass gain by tree growth exceeded losses from tree death in 38 of 50 Neotropical sites, suggesting that Neotropic forests may be a significant carbon sink.

Forest products and wood science : an introduction
John G. Haygreen,Jim L. Bowyer +1 more
TL;DR: An introduction to the study of wood as an industrial raw material is given in this article, which covers topics such as: the physical properties of wood, as well as chemical and structural characteristics; the manufacturing process and product properties of major forest products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence from chronosequence studies for a low carbon-storage potential of soils
TL;DR: This article used data from chronosequence studies to show that the production of refractory humus substances in soils sequesters only ∼ 0.4 × 1015 g C yr−1 from the atmosphere, accounting for just 0.7% of terrestrial net primary production.
Book
World Mangrove Atlas
TL;DR: The World Mangrove Atlas as mentioned in this paper provides an overview of the distribution of mangroves worldwide and provides a range of different mapping techniques and provides detail on some of the issues threatening mangrove worldwide.
