whole isLand carbon stocks in the tropical pacific implications for mangrove conservation and upLand restoration
Journal of Environmental Management, 2012Co-Authors: Daniel C Donato, J B Kauffman, Richard A Mackenzie, A Ainsworth, A Z PfleegerAbstract:Management of forest carbon (C) stocks is an increasingly prominent Land-Use Issue. Knowledge of carbon storage in tropical forests is improving, but regional variations are still poorly understood, and this constrains forest management and conservation efforts associated with carbon valuation mechanisms (e.g., carbon markets). This deficiency is especially pronounced in tropical isLands and low-lying coastal areas where climate change impacts are expected to be among the most severe. This study presents the first field estimate of isLand-wide carbon storage in ecosystems of Oceania, with special attention to the regional role of coastal mangroves, which occur on isLands and coastal zones throughout the tropics. On two isLand groups of Micronesia (Yap and Palau), we sampled all above- and belowground C pools, including soil and vegetation, in 24 sites distributed evenly among the three major vegetation structural types: mangroves, upLand forests, and open savannas (generally on degraded Lands formerly forested). Total C stocks were estimated to be 3.9 and 15.2 Tg C on Yap and Palau, respectively. Mangroves contained by far the largest per-hectare C pools (830e1218 Mg C ha
