- MA 49: Effect of vegetation structure on carbon assimilation capacity of mang...
- Abstract
Mangroves are proven as highly potential of providing an efficient carbon sink, both on short and longer time scales. Capacity of carbon sequestration abilities of mangroves is not only a trait that is governed by their genetic make-up, but also by environmental conditions. Total capacity of carbon retention by mangrove ecosystems therefore is partly determined by their vegetation structure. Vegetation sampling was carried out at six (6) randomly selected locations in mangrove areas of Bat...
