Mangrove forests store more carbon when they re more diverse

Credit: Guanghui Lin. Mangrove forests with greater species diversity can store more carbon, according to new research published in the British Ecological Society journal Functional Ecology. Researchers studying mangrove forests in Hainan Island, China, have found that species diversity in mangrove forests enhances both biomass production (the quantity of organic matter) and soil carbon storage. The findings highlight the impotence of conserving mangrove biodiversity as a nature-based solution to mitigate climate change. The East side of the island was found to have the highest mangrove biomass, diversity and carbon storage, with a mean of 537 tonnes of carbon per hectare (Mg C ha-1). This compared to a mean of 328 Mg C ha-1 across the entire island, and the world mangrove forest mean of 386Mg C ha-1.

Diverse mangrove forests have higher carbon storage capacity • Earth com

02-24-2021 By Earth.com staff writer Mangrove forests have a greater capacity to store carbon when they are diverse, according to a new study published by the British Ecological Society. While analyzing mangrove forests in Hainan Island, China, the researchers discovered that species diversity in mangrove forests improves both biomass production and soil carbon storage. Worldwide, there are 70 different species of mangroves and 26 of them can be found in the study area. The research is the first intensive field study of its kind to confirm the positive effect of biodiversity on mangrove biomass and carbon storage. The eastern side of Hainan Island was found to have the highest mangrove diversity and biomass, along with an average carbon storage of 537 tons per hectare. This carbon storage capacity is extremely high compared to the average across the entire island of 328 tons per hectare, and also compared to the global mangrove forest avera

All in the head? Brains adapt to support new species

The study led by the University of Bristol, and published today [9 February] in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS), has implications for how new species might evolve and the underappreciated role of changes in the brain. The international team, led by Dr Stephen Montgomery from the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Bristol, compared the brain morphology of two distinct but closely related lineages of butterfly that occur in distinct tropical forest habitats. The first, including the species Heliconius cydno, lives in deeper fores
