Discussion

This analysis estimates carbon stock and sequestration in mangroves, suggesting effective climate change mitigation strategies.

The total carbon stock in the mangrove ecosystem is 330.74 tons C/ha, emphasizing its role in carbon storage and mitigation.
Above-ground carbon contributes 227.19 tons C/ha, while below-ground carbon constitutes 103.55 tons C/ha, showcasing the ecosystem's carbon reservoir.
Estimation was done using the quadrat transect method to measure vegetation and biomass through allometric equations for dominant species.
These findings indicate the need for sustainable management of mangroves as part of broader carbon emission reduction strategies.

Ombi et al. (2025) studied this question.
