Book Chapter
Tamooh, F., Kairo, J. G., Huxham, M., Kirui, B., Mencuccini, M., & Karachi, M. (2009). Biomass accumulation in a rehabilitated mangrove forest at Gazi Bay. In Advances in Coastal Ecology : People, Processes and Ecosystems in Kenya (138-147). African Studies Centre

Global mangrove coverage is estimated to be 0.4% of the forested areas globally (Spalding et al. 1997). Despite this small areal coverage, mangroves are important because of the range of ecological, economic and environmental services they provide (S...

Seasonal dynamics of soil carbon dioxide flux in a restored young mangrove plantation at Gazi Bay (2009)
Book Chapter
Kirui, B., Huxham, M., Kairo, J. G., Mencuccini, M., & Skov, M. W. (2009). Seasonal dynamics of soil carbon dioxide flux in a restored young mangrove plantation at Gazi Bay. In Advances in Coastal Ecology : People, Processes and Ecosystems in Kenya (122-130). African Studies Centre

Soil carbon dioxide (CO2) flux or soil respiration includes respiration from roots (autotrophic respiration) and soil micro-organisms (heterotrophic respiration) and is a major component of the forest carbon cycle (Law et al. 2002; Tüfekçioğlu & Küçü...
