Species Diversity, Biomass and Carbon Stock Assessment of Kanhlyashay Natural Mangrove Forest

Abstract: Mangrove ecosystems sequester and store large amounts of carbon in both biomass and soil. In this study, species diversity, the above and below-ground biomass as well as carbon stock by the mangroves in Kanhlyashay natural mangrove forest were estimated. Six true mangrove species from four families were recorded in the sample plots of the study area. Among them, Avicennia officinalis L. from the Acanthaceae family was the abundance of species with an importance value of 218.69%. Shannon–Wiener’s diversity inde… Show more

“…The below-ground carbon stock in the mangrove estuary of Malwathu Oya, Sri Lanka, according to Perera and Amarasinghe (2021), was 29.27 ± 1.57 Mg ha -1 . Meanwhile, above and below-ground carbon stock in the natural mangrove forest in Kanhlyashay (Myanmar) is 150.25 ± 81.35 Mg ha -1 (Aye et al 2022). This value is twice that of the vegetation carbon stock in conservation mangroves in this research.…”

“…Hence ICT and CC were negatively correlated, and there is a need to add more SDTs aligned with ICT to strengthen its connections for CC mitigation. These findings were also supported by the study of Aye et al (2022), which suggest that forests are both a cause and a solution for greenhouse gas emission and preventing forest ecosystem loss and degradation and promoting their restoration could contribute more than one-third of the total climate change mitigation required by 2030 to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement [24,26].…”

“…Evidence suggests that the ecological connection between climate change and forests is essential for addressing the adverse effects of global warming. It is well known that forests are both a cause and a solution for greenhouse gas emissions, preventing forest ecosystem loss and degradation [24,25]. Promoting their restoration could help with more than a third of the total carbon reduction needed by 2030 to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement [26].…”

“…Current warming trends may cause temperatures to rise by 1.5 • C in the next 20 years. SFM is crucial for mitigating climate change, conserving biodiversity, and providing ecosystem services [15][16][17]. However, deforestation and unsustainable practices continue to threaten these benefits [18].…”
