Blue carbon storage and environmental influences in mangroves, Puerto Rico

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Mangrove ecosystems are important coastal carbon sinks, with soil carbon storage strongly influenced by site‐specific hydrological, sedimentary, and climatic conditions. This study quantified soil carbon stocks in two mangrove systems in Puerto Rico—La Parguera and Laguna Grande—and evaluated the relative influence of hydrology, sediment ...
