Variations in Soil Blue Carbon Sequestration between Natural Mangrove Metapopulations and a Mixed Mangrove Plantation: A Case Study from the World’s Largest Contiguous Mangrove Forest [PDF]
Life, 2023 Sundarban is the world’s largest mangrove wetland. This study, conducted in 2016, to compare blue carbon sequestration with different natural metapopulations and a four-year-old Avicennia marina (30% area)-Rhizophora mucronata (70% area)-mixed mangrove ...

Biomass recovery of coastal young mangrove plantations in Central Thailand. [PDF]
Sci RepAbstractAround one-third of the world’s most carbon-rich ecosystems, mangrove forests, have already been destroyed in Thailand owing to coastal development and aquaculture. Improving these degraded areas through mangrove plantations can restore various coastal ecosystem services, including CO2 absorption and protection against wave action.

Procedia Environmental Sciences, 2012 AbstractShore water pollution has increased prominently as the rapid development of agriculture and industry. Nine ponds in the mangrove plantation-aquaculture A, B and C systems were established. The results showed that algal abundance ranged from 10.5×105 to 3744.3×105 ind./L and had positive correlations with Chl a, DO, COD and TP (r=0.697, 0.302, 0.

Potential use of mangrove plantation as constructed wetland for municipal wastewater treatment
Water Science and Technology, 2003 The study evaluated the possibility of using mangrove plantation to treat municipal wastewater. Two types of pilot scale (100 × 150 m2) free water surface constructed wetland were set up. One system was a natural Avicennia marina dominated forest system. The other system was a newly planted system in which seedlings of Rhizophora spp., A.
