Estimation of carbon pool in soil, above and below ground vegetation at different types of mangrove forests in Peninsular Malaysia
This paper evaluated the total carbon stock of mangrove ecosystems in two contrasting sites: a fishing village in Delta Kelantan (DK) and Ramsar sites in Johor Park (JP). In both sites, aboveground carbon was significantly higher than belowground carbon, and stems contained more carbon than leaf and...
