Carbon Analysis

Mangrove forests are well known among ecologists, as they are the standing stores of sequestered carbon from the atmosphere. Furthermore, global climatic change is a growing environmental issue at national and international levels due to the continuous stress of the anthropogenic activities on forest ecosystems that led to the continual rise of CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere. The annual global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) is growing continuously to hit the roof at 49.5 billion tonnes (Gt) of CO₂e in 2010 according to the fifth report assessment (AR5) by the working group members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
