Abstract The term 'Blue Carbon'was coined about a decade ago to highlight the important
carbon sequestration capacity of coastal vegetated ecosystems. The term has paved the …

Mangrove forests store and sequester large area-specific quantities of blue carbon (Corg).
Except for tundra and peatlands, mangroves store more Corg per unit area than any other …

Mangrove forests are highly productive, with carbon production rates equivalent to tropical
