ASSESSMENT OF MANGROVE LITTERFALL IN MANGROVE-SHRIMP SYSTEM IN KIEN GIANG

Tóm tắt

Mangrove-shrimp farming is practiced in the buffer zones of mangrove forest to enhance local livelihood and protect mangrove. To understand the properties of this system, this research focuses on assessing its litterfall, litter carbon accumulation, and CO2 uptake. It includes sampling the litter, simulating the carbon and the uptake, and interviewing local people. Results show that the local people considered this system a nature-based farming having minimized human effects on mangrove and shrimp growth to maintain and protect mangrove. The mean litterfall collected per a farming term for the farm I and II was 250,38 g/month and 162 g/month, respectively. The litter carbon was 112,67 g/month and 72,9 g/month, respectively. C-CO2 was about 413,5 g/month and 267,54 g/month for farm I and II, respectively.
