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.

Some factors that affect the deposition rates of sulfur dioxide and similar gases on vegetation
M.L. Wesely,B.B. Hicks +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the aerodynamic resistance to vertical transfer in the surface boundary layer can be formulated in terms of the friction velocity, height of observation, vertical heat flux, and surface roughness.

TL;DR: In this article, the above-ground coarse wood carbon productivity for 104 forest plots in lowland New World humid tropical forests, using a consistent calculation methodology that incorporates corrections for spatial variations in tree-size distributions and wood density, and for census interval length.

Growth Trends in European Forests
TL;DR: Spiecl et al. as mentioned in this paper found that the main factors leading to a 44% increase in the total growth of Finnish forests during the last four decades are changes in stand structures and silvicultural practices (regeneration, thinnings, drainage, fertilization).

Land-use effects on the composition of organic matter in particle-size separates of soil: I. Lignin and carbohydrate signature
TL;DR: In this article, a sample of Eutrochrept A horizons under long-term spruce forest (Sf), mixed deciduous forest (Df), permanent grassland (Gp) and arable rotation (Ar) was fractionated according to particle size and analysed for contents of C, N, lignin-derived phenols and carbohydrates.
