- Abstract:
- We will examine the mangrove contribution to global N2O using detailed studies of N fluxes, nitrification and denitrification rates and N2O production and flux at contrasting mangrove sites. Because existing such data are extremely rare, the extensive and highly detailed observations that will arise from this project will make a major contribution to constraining mangrove N2O fluxes globally. Moreover, using these data we will develop a generic model of mangrove N cycling and N2O flux that should be of value in aiding future predictions of tropospheric N2O growth. These outputs will allow identification of the climatic consequences of mangrove exploitation, information that will aid strategies for sustainable coastal development.
