Carbon stock in different ecological types of mangroves in a karstic region (Yucatan, México): an opportunity to avoid site scale emissions by Siuling Cinco-Castro, Jorge Herrera-Silveira, Jorge Herrera-Silveira, Jorge Herrera-Silveira, Jorge Luis Montero Muñoz, Hector Hernández-Nuñez, Claudia Teutli Hernández, Claudia Teutli Hernández

“…To estimate the total carbon stock in mangroves and determine whether carbon storage differs according to the mangrove ecological type in a natural protected area in the karstic region of the Yucatan Peninsula (northern Ria Celestun Biosphere Reserve), a study was conducted following the recommendations of the IPCC Good Practice Supplement for wetlands and standardized methods used in mangroves studies around the world. According to the results, mangroves associated with springs, called “petenes” or hammock mangroves, showed higher total ecosystem carbon stock (683.7 Mg C ha–1) than fringe, basin, and dwarf mangrove ecological types (429, 385, and 214 Mg C ha–1, respectively). …”
