Mangrove forest is one of the “blue carbon” ecosystems recognized for its high sequestration and long-term storage of carbon. While reports on blue carbon in mangroves are increasing, studies on the post-disturbance carbon stocks and rates of sequestration are still lacking in the Philippines. In th...
