Estimated mangrove aboveground carbon stocks (Mg ha-1) for Port Phillip and Western Port Bays, Victoria, Australia. Field-derived mangrove aboveground biomass estimated from allometry (Saintilan 1997), carbon stock from a mangrove biomass to carbon ratio of 1:0.464 (Kauffman & Donato 2012; Donato et al. 2011). Aboveground biomass carbon stock maps developed from field-derived biomass and mean tree height relationships, and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission- (mean canopy height; Fatoyinbo et al. 2008; SRTM; Rodriguez et al. 2006) and airborne LiDAR-(ground elevation: Geoscience Australia 2015) derived mean tree height. |
