Description 1013-1025
Present study inventorises quantitative evaluation of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from various mangrove ecosystems distributed
along the Indian coast. Inconsistency in terms of methodological aspects of GHG
flux estimations from Indian mangrove ecosystems along with the variation in
space and time, has been tried to be pointed out in this present paper.
Inventorization of existing resources available from mangrove ecosystems along
the east and west coast of India,
would be useful for estimating the future potential ecosystem capacities for
fluxes of CO2, CH4 and N2O. This
review further confirms the potential role of Indian mangrove waters and
sediments as perinial source for GHGs, whereas the canopy (vegetation)
particularly acts as a CO2 sink.
