Belize Blue Carbon: Establishing a National Carbon Stock Estimate for Mangrove Ecosystems

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
Mangrove ecosystems are among the most economically and ecologically valuable marine environments in the world. Mangroves are effective at long-term carbon storage within their sediments and are estimated to hold 12 billion metric tons of carbon worldwide.

Advance methodological approaches for carbon stock estimation in forest ecosystems

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2023
The forests are a key player in maintaining ecological balance on the earth. They not only conserve biodiversity, reduce soil erosion, and protect watersheds but also promote the above and below-ground ecosystem services. Forests are known as air cleaners on the planet and play a significant role in mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the ...

Effects of connectivity on carbon and nitrogen stocks in mangrove and seagrass ecosystems

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Seascape connectivity increases carbon and nitrogen exchange across coastal ecosystems through flow of particulate organic matter (POM). However, there are still critical gaps in knowledge about the drivers that mediate these processes, especially at regional seascape scales.

Ecosystem carbon stocks and their changes in China’s grasslands

Science China Life Sciences, 2010
The knowledge of carbon (C) stock and its dynamics is crucial for understanding the role of grassland ecosystems in China's terrestrial C cycle. To date, a comprehensive assessment on C balance in China's grasslands is still lacking. By reviewing published literature, this study aims to evaluate ecosystem C stocks (both vegetation biomass and soil ...

A GIS-based approach for quantifying and mapping carbon sink and stock values of forest ecosystem: A case study

Energy Procedia, 2011
This paper explored a GIS-based approach for quantifying and mapping economic values of carbon sink and stock of forest ecosystem. The approach highlighted use of GIS to develop database, perform spatial analysis and map economic values.

Ecosystem Carbon Stocks of Micronesian Mangrove Forests

Wetlands, 2011
Among the least studied ecosystem services of mangroves is their value as global carbon (C) stocks. This is significant as mangroves are subject to rapid rates of deforestation and therefore could be significant sources of atmospheric emissions. Mangroves could be key ecosystems in strategies addressing the mitigation of climate change though reduced ...

Predators help protect carbon stocks in blue carbon ecosystems

Nature Climate Change, 2015
Predators continue to be harvested unsustainably throughout most of the Earth's ecosystems. Recent research demonstrates that the functional loss of predators could have far-reaching consequences on carbon cycling and, by implication, our ability to ameliorate climate change impacts.

Organic carbon stocks in New Zealand's terrestrial ecosystems

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 1997
The organic carbon in New Zealand's vegetation and soils has been estimated for 1992 from updated national databases of vegetative cover and soil carbon. These databases were augmented by inclusion of vegetation and soils information for Stewart Island, and addition of carbon estimates for upland and high‐country soils of South Island.

Organic Carbon Stocks in Earth’s Most Remote Blue Carbon Ecosystems

Environmental Science & Technology
Tropical coastal ecosystems are zones of important blue carbon sequestration, storing some of the highest carbon stocks per unit area and sequestering carbon on time scales exceeding centuries. However, mapping of these ecosystems using remote sensing is often hindered by cloud cover, inconsistent field methods employed between studies, and differences

Carbon stocks in bamboo ecosystems worldwide: Estimates and uncertainties

Forest Ecology and Management, 2017
Abstract From a review of 184 studies on bamboo biomass for 70 species (22 genera) we estimate plausible ranges for above-ground carbon (AGC) biomass (16–128 Mg C/ha), below-ground carbon (BGC) biomass (8–64 Mg C/ha), soil organic carbon (SOC; 70–200 Mg C/ha), and total ecosystem carbon (TEC; 94–392 Mg C/ha). The total ecosystem carbon range is below
