Full Description

This book unveils the critical role of Amazonian mangroves in the global fight against climate change in this groundbreaking exploration of blue carbon dynamics. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the carbon storage and emission processes intrinsic to the largest continuous mangrove area on the planet. From photosynthesis in mangrove species to live and dead wood dynamics, the authors present innovative research on biomass estimation and the most accurate estimates of carbon stocks in Amazonian mangroves. The book combines field-based measurements with advanced remote sensing technologies, unveiling precise allometric models and high-resolution carbon mapping techniques. It highlights the intricate interplay between tidal water flows and greenhouse gas emissions, revealing their impact on the carbon balance of these unique forests. This volume bridges science and policy with its holistic perspective, offering actionable insights for conservationists, scientists, and decision-makers. It underscores

the Amazonian mangroves' indispensable role in mitigating climate change and proposes integrated management, education, and conservation strategies. Essential for understanding and preserving the planet's most extensive mangrove system, this book is a call to action for safeguarding one of Earth's most valuable carbon sinks in the face of global climate challenges.
