“…To help refine Indonesia's national FREL and MRV system, CIFOR has produced actionable knowledge and innovations in the form of new datasets, 2 published analyses on land-use sector emissions at regional and national levels (see for example Kauffman et al 2016, Sasmito et al 2016, Hergoualc'h et al 2018, Sasmito et al 2019, and continues to promote the development and integration of 'blue carbon' into the national policy agenda. CIFOR has organized several events that have brought scientists and policymakers together to share new knowledge about greenhouse gas accounting in wetlands to improve the FREL and the national MRV system.…”

CIFOR infobriefs provide concise, accurate, peer-reviewed information on current topics in forest research Global Comparative Study on REDD+ story of change CIFOR's science on wetlands for Indonesian measurement, reporting and verification and forest reference emission level development Key messages• Tropical forested wetlands, including peatlands and mangroves, provide critical environmental services and store 3-5 times more carbon than other tropical forests.• However, because these ecosystems are under significant pressure from unsustainable land-use practices, they must be credited in the national forest monitoring and measurement mechanism and integrated into the national policy agenda.• In January 2016, the Government of Indonesia submitted a forest reference emission level (FREL) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat, and is currently in the process of finalizing its second FREL.• To achieve the intended improvement in the FREL, CIFOR has played an active role by co-producing relevant data and knowledge products, building capacity among key personnel and stakeholders, and creating a platform for communication, engagement and outreach at national and international levels.

“…Separately, improvement in emission factors is expected from the availability of detailed land cover analyses in several types of land use classes (see for example Kauffman et al 2016, Sasmito et al 2016. Interviewed stakeholders expect this to emerge over time as the work and support from CIFOR continue.…”

We assessed the influence of the intertidal and salinity gradients and mangrove forest structure on C stocks and sequestration rates in mangrove soils of an estuarine system in Todos os Santos Bay, Eastern Brazil. The accumulation rates of organic C (Corg) during the last century varied between and within estuarine zones, ranging from 65 to 1073 g Corg m−2 yr−1. The mean stocks of Corg and N for the top 1 m soils were 263 ± 14 Mg Corg ha−1 and 11.8 ± 0.4 Mg N ha−1, respectively. We found a less variable distribution pattern on Corg and N stocks throughout the salinity gradient than along the intertidal gradient, being significantly higher at the fringe mangroves than at the interior forest. We estimated that Brazil, one of the major reservoirs of mangroves (~ 10%) on the planet, has 207 ± 34 Tg Corg in the upper meter of soils, which represents 3–8% of the C stored in mangrove soils globally. Given that Brazil is a Blue Carbon hotspot, it is emphasized the urgent need for the establishment of better mangrove conservation practices and a comprehensive evaluation of their value in climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies for reducing CO2 emissions.
