To estimate carbon stocks in salt marshes, seagrasses, or mangroves, you typically conduct field measurements and use established methods such as:Vegetation Surveys: Measure the biomass and density of plant species in the area.Soil Sampling: Collect soil cores to measure carbon content at different depths.Remote Sensing: Use satellite imagery or aerial surveys to estimate vegetation cover and biomass.Allometric Equations: Utilize equations that relate plant size (e.g., diameter, height) to biomass.Carbon Content Analysis: Analyze collected plant and soil samples in the laboratory to determine carbon content.GIS Mapping: Combine field data with geographic information system (GIS) tools to create spatial maps of carbon stocks.
