Development of Sundarbans through Estuary Management for Augmenting Freshwater Supply, Improved Drainage and Reduced Bank Erosion

Is soil organic carbon underestimated in the largest mangrove forest ecosystems? Evidence from the Bangladesh Sundarbans

“…Although the Sundarbans is considered to be of recent origin, the large accommodation space exists due to accretion and erosion with historical relative sea-level variability (Goodbred and Kuehl, 2000;Tyagi and Sen, 2019). Therefore, the Sundarbans might have a 3m organic layer in the seaward direction and much more in the landward (Allison et al, 2003).…”
