Aboveground biomass and net primary production of semi-evergreen tropical forest of Manipur, north-eastern India

The aboveground biomass dynamics and net primary productivity were investigated to assess the productive potential of Dipterocarpus forest in Manipur, Northeast India. Two forest stands (stand I and…

Producer Nutritional Quality Controls Ecosystem Trophic Structure

It is shown that the nutritional quality of primary producers controls the trophic structure of ecosystems, and that ecosystems composed of highly nutritional primary producers feature high consumer productivity, fast energy recycling, and reduced carbon accumulation.

PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY OF RED MANGROVES IN SOUTHWESTERN PUERTO RICO FROM REMOTE SENSING AND FIELD MEASUREMENTS

Degradation of mangrove tissues by arboreal termites (Nasutitermes acajutlae) and their role in the mangrove C cycle (Puerto Rico): Chemical characterization and organic matter provenance using bulk Î ́13C, C/N, alkaline CuO oxidationâ•’GC/MS, and solidâ•’

Biomass and aboveground net primary production in a subtropical mangrove stand of Kandelia obovata (S., L.) Yong at Manko Wetland, Okinawa, Japan

The low leaf longevity and high growth efficiency of K. obovata makes it a highly productive mangrove species, and seasonal changes of litterfall rate were observed.

Evaluation of biomass and carbon storage potential of a natural mangrove stand in Muzhappilangad, Kerala, southwest coast of India

The present study was envisaged to assess the biomass and carbon stocks of a natural mangrove stand of Muzhappilangad wetland of Kerala, southwest coast of India. The carbon stocks of aboveground,…
