Description 995-1003
Mangrove plays a pivotal role in the nutrient
biogeochemical processes by behaving as both source and sink for

nutrients and other materials. Litter from mangroves
added major part of the carbon and fresh water sources from estuary enrich them
with nutrients. Microbial processes play a vital role in the dynamics of
nutrients and its cycling. In the anoxic condition microbes convert organic
carbon into methane and other gases. Spatial and temporal variation of methane
emission is dependent on complex biogeochemical processes as well as the
climatic conditions existing in the mangrove ecosystem. Methane emission from
mangrove ecosystems is perceived to be the major source of green house gases in
the environment.
