What lies beneath: Predicting seagrass below-ground biomass from above-ground biomass, environmental conditions and seagrass community composition [PDF]

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Seagrass condition, resilience and ecosystem services are affected by the below-ground tissues (BGr) but these are rarely monitored. In this study we compiled historical data across northern Australia to investigate biomass allocation strategies in 13 ...

Blue Carbon in Mangroves of the Arid Zones of San Ignacio and El Dátil Lagoons, El Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve, Baja California, Mexico

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2023
Estimation of carbon (C) stocks revealed a very high carbon sequestration potential of mangroves, which play a major role in the global C cycle. The C stored in the biomass of live trees can be estimated from above- and below-ground measurements, i.e ...
