Food chain and carbon accumulation in mangrove plantation areas in Thailand / Shigeru Kato ... [et al.]

Mangrove forests provide numerous ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, sediment trapping, protection from cyclones and tsunami, habitat for numerous organisms and wood for fuel and lumber. It is being a unique habitat for several fresh and saline tolerant species. The present research ai...
