Can you provide any more details or contacts? Thanks

I am aware of several investigations that use predictive models with NDVI, ombrófil indices and canopy height for estimations of aerial biomass in mangroves. Usually use Landsat Modis and Lidar images, the latter has a sensor Geoscience Laser Altimeter System -GLAS- e This sensor obtained height-of-vegetation information for the whole world in granules of approximately 60 m. For more information you can read this study from Colombia Galindo G.A., Cabrera E., Vargas D.M., Pabón, H.R., Cabrera, K.R., Yepes, A.P., Phillips, J.F., Navarrete, D.A., Duque, A.J., García, M.C., Ordoñez, M.F. 2011. Estimación de la Biomasa Aérea usando Datos de Campo e información De Sensores Remotos. Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología, y Estudios Ambientales-IDEAM-. Bogotá D.C., Colombia. 52 p.

Kindly, what do you mean by blue C is this a kind of C distinguished in mangrove?

Thanks Denise for the comments highly appreciated

Heba, blue carbon is the carbon stored within the mangrove forests and seagrass. Pls check the wikipedia link above for more info.

Thanks so much for your answer, really your question was very valuable for me because it added new information I didn't know before.

I also looked for this meaning and found this book for Dr Mitra and Dr Sofia "Blue Carbon Reservoir of the Blue Planet" you can find and download it at springer

I suggest to use NDVI, it is a useful index you can you in your case.

Thanks Heba, appreciate your input. Best regards
