“…Regardless of that, high stand density was found in station 2, but it had low aboveground living biomass. The Mangrove community dominated by small trees is reported to have higher stand density while the community dominated by large trees are reported to have lower stand density (Kamruzzaman et al 2017). Stand density is the factor to differentiate early growth of mangrove, young stand (sapling) to mature stand (tree) by reducing the number of stands (Fromard et al 1998).…”

Abstract. Pricillia CC, Patria MP, Herdiansyah H. 2021. Environmental conditions to support blue carbon storage in mangrove forest: A case study in the mangrove forest, Nusa Lembongan, Bali, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3304-3314. Mangrove ecosystems can provide ecosystem services to mitigate climate change by absorbing and storing carbon in their systems. The question arises of how to manage a mangrove forest to store more carbon. The Nusa Lembongan mangrove forest was examined to assess the optimal environmental settings for blue carbon storage in the mangrove ecosystem. Five stations were selected purposively. The parameters observed in each station were aboveground living biomass, mangrove stand density, clay percentage in soil, bulk density, water content, soil organic carbon (%C), and soil organic nitrogen (%N). Based on this study, the total carbon stock in mangrove forest Nusa Lembongan was 68.10 ± 20.92 Mg C ha-1 and equals to 249.95 ± 76.77 MgCO2 ha-1 with a significant contribution of soil carbon stock. This study indicates that the essential parameters that can promote carbon sequestration in mangrove forest Nusa Lembongan were aboveground living biomass, soil organic carbon content and soil organic nitrogen content. In addition, as soil organic carbon content also negatively correlates with bulk density, it also can be considered. These findings can contribute to blue carbon planning and management to improve the effectiveness of the blue carbon project.

“…The aboveground biomass productivity (AGBP) of the world's forests supports ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services to human well-being (Chapin et al 1997). At small-scales and under natural conditions AGBP is driven by vegetation quantity, species diversity, particular dominant species and soil resources availability through four so far controversial hypothesis, recently compared (Lohbeck et al 2015;Finegan et al 2015;Prado-Junior et al 2016;Kamruzzaman et al 2017;van der Sande et al 2017a), and namely:…”

Background: Forest productivity has a pivotal role in human well-being. Vegetation quantity, niche complementarity, mass-ratio, and soil resources are alternative/complementary ecological mechanisms driving productivity. One challenge in current forest management depends on identifying and manipulating these mechanisms to enhance productivity. This study assessed the extent to which these mechanisms control aboveground biomass productivity (AGBP) of a Chilean mediterranean-type matorral. AGBP measured as tree aboveground biomass changes over a 7-years period, was estimated for twelve 25 m × 25 m plots across a wide range of matorral compositions and structures. Variables related to canopy structure, species and functional diversity, species and functional dominance, soil texture, soil water and soil nitrogen content were measured as surrogates of the four mechanisms proposed. Linear regression models were used to test the hypotheses. A multimodel inference based on the Akaike's information criterion was used to select the best models explaining AGBP and for identifying the relative importance of each mechanism. Results: Vegetation quantity (tree density) and mass-ratio (relative biomass of Cryptocarya alba, a conservative species) were the strongest drivers increasing AGBP, while niche complementarity (richness species) and soil resources (sand, %) had a smaller effect either decreasing or increasing AGBP, respectively. This study provides the first assessment of alternative mechanisms driving AGBP in mediterranean forests of Chile. There is strong evidence suggesting that the vegetation quantity and mass-ratio mechanisms are key drivers of AGBP, such as in other tropical and temperate forests. However, in contrast with other studies from mediterranean-type forests, our results show a negative effect of species diversity and a small effect of soil resources on AGBP. Conclusion: AGBP in the Chilean matorral depends mainly on the vegetation quantity and mass-ratio mechanisms. The findings of this study have implications for matorral restoration and management for the production of timber and non-timber products and carbon sequestration.

“…Litterfall not only provides nutrients to the vegetation but also provides energy to the soil and aquatic fauna and micro-organisms (Kathiresan and Bingham 2001). Litterfall is the principle component of net primary production in marine ecosystem (Hoque et al 2015;Kamruzzaman, Ahmed, et al 2017;Sarno et al 2018). Litterfall is a sign of the phenophases of a species (Clarke 1994;Duke 1990).…”

The study of vegetative and reproductive phenology through litterfall collection of mangrove species is vital for mangrove management and restoration in climate change situation. This study was carried out to investigate vegetative and reproductive phenological pattern of Heritiera fomes using litterfall data in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh for a period of 24 months. Leaf and stipule litterfall released throughout the year with a distinct periodic pattern. Vegetative litterfall (981.9-1211.3 g/sq m/yr) contributed 59.3% of total litterfall (1791.1-1907.3 g/m/yr). The order of vegetative litterfall was leaf > branch > stipule. Peak flowering and mature fruit litterfall were noticed in April (1.52 times of mean monthly flower production) and July (1.56 times of mean monthly production), respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant difference (p < 0.05) among monthly litterfall productions, whereas t-test showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) of litterfall production between two successive years during study periods. Vegetative and flower litterfall were significantly influenced by maximum wind speed, mean monthly temperature and day length. On the contrary, mature fruits were significantly correlated with rainfall.
