Vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs; ie, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) play a
critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, storing 10× more C than temperate forests. Methane …

Organic matter burial in mangrove forests results in the removal and long-term storage of
atmospheric CO2, so-called “blue carbon.” However, some of this organic matter is …

Despite their importance in sustaining livelihoods for many people living along some of the
world's most populous coastlines, tropical mangrove forests are disappearing at an alarming …

The atmospheric fluxes of N2O, CH4 and CO2 from the soil in four mangrove swamps in
Shenzhen and Hong Kong, South China were investigated in the summer of 2008. The …

Mangrove soils are anoxic, sulphidic and variable since their chemistry is regulated by a
variety of factors such as texture, tidal range and elevation, redox state, bioturbation …

The majority of oil from oceanic oil spills (eg the recent accident in the Gulf of Mexico)
converges on coastal ecosystems such as mangroves. Microorganisms are directly involved …

Mangroves have been considered for a long time to be a minor methane source, but recent
reports have shown that polluted mangroves may emit substantial amounts of methane. In …

Seasonal and spatial variation of dissolved and atmospheric methane (CH4) was measured
in the estuaries of the Sundarban mangrove ecosystem from January to December 2003 …

In a mangrove forest in Pattani Bay, Thailand, rhizosphere soil and leaf, stem and root tissue
from various plant species were tested for concentrations of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn …

Carbon gas balance was evaluated in an anthropogenically impacted (Mtoni) and a pristine
(Ras Dege) mangrove forest in Tanzania. Exchange of carbon dioxide (CO 2) was …
