“…These heights are comparable with mangroves found in most areas in Indonesia, such as Bali [51], Porong Delta, East Java [52], Mahakam Delta [25], etc. But they are too short compared to the mangrove height in Papua, which can reach more than 40 m high, e.g., [25,53,54].…”

Blue carbon ecosystems in the Karimunjawa Islands may play a vital role in absorbing and storing the releasing carbon from the Java Sea. The present study investigated mangrove above-ground biomass (AGB) and carbon stock in the Karimunjawa-Kemujan Islands, the largest mangrove area in the Karimunjawa Islands. Taking the aerial photos from an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle combined with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements, we generated Digital Surface Model (DSM) and Digital Terrain Model (DTM) with high accuracy. We calculated mangrove canopy height by subtracting DSM from DTM and then converted it into Lorey’s height. The highest mangrove canopy is located along the coastline facing the sea, ranging from 8 m to 15 m. Stunted mangroves 1 m to 8 m in height are detected mainly in the inner areas. AGBs were calculated using an allometric equation destined for the Southeast and East Asia region. Above-ground carbon biomass is half of AGB. The AGB and carbon biomass of mangroves in the Karimunjawa-Kemujan Islands range from 8 Mg/ha to 328 Mg/ha, and from 4 MgC/ha to 164 MgC/ha, respectively. With a total area of 238.98 ha, the potential above-ground carbon stored in the study area is estimated as 16,555.46 Mg.

“…Mangrove forests are an unique ecosystem situated between the coastal margins and marine ecosystems and are located in 118 coastal and sub-tropical countries [ 19 ]. Given their unique geographical location, mangrove forests and other living organisms, therein, have adapted to grow exclusively in warm tropical and subtropical climates (>24 °C) [ 20 ] while constantly exposed to the harsh saline ocean waters as well as changing tides and acidic soil [ 21 ].…”

Streptomyces sp. Strain MUSC 125 from Mangrove Soil in Malaysia with Anti-MRSA, Anti-Biofilm and Antioxidant Activities

et al. 2020

There is an urgent need to search for new antibiotics to counter the growing number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, one of which is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Herein, we report a Streptomyces sp. strain MUSC 125 from mangrove soil in Malaysia which was identified using 16S rRNA phylogenetic and phenotypic analysis. The methanolic extract of strain MUSC 125 showed anti-MRSA, anti-biofilm and antioxidant activities. Strain MUSC 125 was further screened for the presence of secondary metabolite biosynthetic genes. Our results indicated that both polyketide synthase (pks) gene clusters, pksI and pksII, were detected in strain MUSC 125 by PCR amplification. In addition, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) detected the presence of different chemicals in the methanolic extract. Based on the GC-MS analysis, eight known compounds were detected suggesting their contribution towards the anti-MRSA and anti-biofilm activities observed. Overall, the study bolsters the potential of strain MUSC 125 as a promising source of anti-MRSA and antibiofilm compounds and warrants further investigation.

“…Mangroves are generally assumed to be weak CH 4 sources due to the presence of sulfate in mangrove sediments, in which anaerobic methanogenesis is outcompeted by sulfate reduction (Alongi, 2009; Kristensen, 2007). However, in comparison with mangrove CO 2 uptakes, the uncertainty in mangrove CH 4 emissions is much larger, varying from −0.8 to 874.4 mg CH 4 ‐C m −2 day −1 (Al‐Haj & Fulweiler, 2020).…”

Drought‐Induced Salinity Enhancement Weakens Mangrove Greenhouse Gas Cycling

Tidal mangroves are one of the most important blue carbon ecosystems that have been increasingly recognized as effective long-term natural carbon sinks for climate change mitigation (Howard et al., 2017;Nellemann & Corcoran, 2009). As a carbon-rich and highly productive coastal ecosystem (Ouyang & Lee, 2020), mangrove forests can sequester atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) of CO 2 and capture suspended carbon during tidal inundation at much larger rates per unit area than inland forests (Alongi, 2014;Breithaupt
