Abstract

Contribution of mangrove aboveground roots for carbon sequestration function was studied at Kadolkele mangrove stand in Meegamuwa estuary (7°11’ N and 79º50’ E). The structure of mangrove vegetation was analyzed to determine the effect of structure of mangrove vegetation on carbon sequestration capacity of mangrove aerial roots. Structural parameters were obtained along the three belt transects (10 m x 50 m, 10 m x 70 m, 10 m x 80 m) laid perpendicular to the shoreline. Plant density, stem...
