What is it about?
The inclusion of mangroves in climate change mitigation strategies requires measuring of carbon stocks and the emissions caused by land use change over time. This study provides a synthesis of carbon stocks in mangrove and shrimp ponds in the Gulf of Guayaquil.

Why is it important?
Mangrove forests play an important role in mitigating climate change but are threatened by aquaculture expansion.
Perspectives
This research provides a better understanding of how carbon stocks in this gulf are found and can be used for design strategies to protect global natural carbon sinks.
