Despite exponential increase in global blue carbon studies over the last decade, critical knowledge gaps remain regarding role of drivers such as seascape connectivity that mediate storage tropical saltmarsh ecosystems. The present study addresses this gap by investigating how seascape-level drivers, specifically between ecosystems, sediment traits and plant biomass, influence stocks, connected versus individual (Porteresia coarctata Myrostachia wightiana) meadows. This compared meadows...
The bioindicator potential of seagrass ecosystems in coastal trace metal monitoring is low for tropical island ecosystems. This study evaluated the six species exposed to anthropogenic pollution Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) India. Sediment biomass, samples were analyzed metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) from four locations ANI contamination. Geo accumulation Index values indicated moderate contamination sediment. Seagrass sediment was both species-specific location- specific...
Despite saltmarshes being considered as nature-based solutions (NbS) towards climate change mitigation, India’s saltmarsh ecosystems are least studied. This study quantifies the seasonal variation in carbon stocks mono-specific species (Porteresia coarctata) and its potential to play an important role mitigation plans. Seasonal (pre-and post-monsoon) sampling of P. coarctata surface water, biomass 30 cm sediment core was collected across four locations on east coast India quantify...
