摘要：Considering 24 stations, distributed in three contrasting salinity regimes in Indian Sundarbans, wecarried out a survey on Above Ground Biomass (AGB) and Above Ground Carbon (AGC) of Sonneratia apetala fortwo decades (1996-2015). We focused on three sectors of Indian Sundarbans namely western, central and easternsectors that have contrasting salinity profile. In the western sector, the average AGB of the species were 36.85 tonnesha-1, 43.17 tonnes ha-1 and 49.04 tons/h during 1996, 2005 and 2015 respectively. In the central sector, the mean AGBof the species were 0.84 tonnes ha-1, 2.74 tonnes ha-1 and 7.83 tonnes ha-1 in similar years. In the eastern sector, themean AGB values were 9.16 tonnes ha-1, 14.76 tonnes ha-1 and 20.21 tonnes ha-1 during the same years. The AGCvalues synchronized with the AGB values. The present study indicates that the stored carbon in the AGB of the speciesis significantly more in the hyposaline environment of Indian Sundarbans (western sector) compared to the hypersalinecentral sector of the deltaic complex (p < 0.05).
