Gas Exchange Analysis for Estimating Net CO2 Fixation Capacity of Mangrove (Rhizophora stylosa) Forest in the Mouth of River Fukido, Ishigaki Island, Japan

Mangrove trees have been considered to possess a higher carbon fixation capacity than terrestrial trees although a reliable method to estimate their CO2 fixation capacity has not been established. In this study, net CO2 fixation in above-ground of Rhizophora stylosa was estimated as the difference b...
