“…Within the studies that focused on the calculation of biomass, there was a certain tendency regarding allometric models that involved measurements in the field for their use, mostly the product of correlations between the variables. Such is the case of Lozano [17], Mohd Zaki et al [52], Da Motta et al [53], Van Vinh et al [54], Simpson et al [55], and Chatting et al [56], among others, who did not use the same equations but had variables in common (see Table 2).…”

“…Da Motta et al [53] carried out a study in southeastern Brazil on the banks of the Piraquê-Açu river to determine the AGB and the carbon stored by the mangroves. They were able to obtain results by using allometric equations such as (6) (Table 2), taking measurements in the trees present in an area of 600 m 2 and soil samples to identify aspects such as humidity, permeability, and granulometry, among others.…”

“…The aforementioned works ( [17,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]) used equations that estimate the AGB of a single tree. To determine the AGB of a forest, it will be necessary to carry out an inventory to obtain the measurements and then multiply by the number of trees.…”

Trees are resources that provide multiple benefits, such as the conservation of fauna, both terrestrial and marine, a source of food and raw material, and offering protection in storms, which makes it practical to understand their behavior against different phenomena. Such understanding may be possible through process modeling. Studies confirm that mangrove forests can store more carbon than other forests, influencing the fight against global warming. Thus, a critical and systematic review was carried out regarding studies focusing on mangroves to collect information on the models that have been applied and the most influential variables highlighted by other authors. Applying a systematic search for the most relevant topics related to mangroves (basic as well as recent information), it is possible to group models and methods carried out by other authors to respond to certain behaviors presented by mangroves. Moreover, possible structuring of a mathematical model applied to a species of interest thanks to the analyzed references could provide justified information to the authorities on the importance of these forests and the benefits of their preservation and regeneration-recovery.

“…As salinity increases, the importance of white mangrove decreases in the plant community (Cardona-Olarte et al 2006). Plants are reduced to shrubs at salinities ranging from 28 ppt to 50 ppt (Wooller et al 2003), and hypersalinity conditions >70 ppt prevent establishment and reforestation of white mangrove (da Matta Portillo et al 2017).…”

Mangrove ecosystems are tropical and subtropical environments that are characterized by the interaction been the land and the sea. Laguncularia racemosa (white mangrove) is a monotypic pantropical and subtropical halophyte distributed in West Africa and the New World. In the New World, the zonation pattern in the mangal from the intertidal seaward fringe to higher elevation landward is Rhizophora mangle > L. racemosa > Avicennia germinans > Conocarpus erectus. Laguncularia racemosa is a halophyte that tolerates salinities up to 90 ppt. However, the optimal salinity range for mature stands of this species is from 15 to 20 ppt with water levels at or near the surface. Laguncularia racemosa secretes salt through glands on the leaf surface. Salt secretion allows roots to maintain low ion concentrations of salt in the xylem but allows other essential ions to move to the shoot system. Climate change has allowed L. racemosa to extend its range northward along the Atlantic coast of the United States.

“…In Asia, the state of Kerala, located in southwestern India, has an average vegetation carbon reserve of 58.56 Mg C ha −1 [12]. In mangroves in South America, in southeastern Brazil, 1.46 Mg C ha −1 of carbon was reported [13]. In Mexico, the average carbon stock for Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, and Veracruz is 70 Mg C ha −1 [14].…”

The aboveground contributions of mangroves to global carbon sequestration reinforce the need to estimate biomass in these systems. The objective was to determine the aboveground biomass storage and quantify the carbon and CO2e content in Rhizophora mangle, Avicennia germinans, and Laguncularia racemosa present in southeastern Mexico. Based on the Forest Protocol for Mexico Version 2.0 methodology, published by Climate Action Reserve, 130 circular plots were randomly selected and established in an area of 930 ha of mangrove vegetation, and the aboveground biomass and stored carbon were determined. The mangrove had a density of 3515 ± 428.5 individuals per hectare. The aboveground biomass of the three species was 120.5 Mg ha−1. The biomass of L. racemosa was 99.5 Mg ha−1, which represents 82.6% of the total biomass. The biomass of R. mangle was 20.33 Mg ha−1, and that of A. germinans was 0.32 Mg ha−1. The total carbon retained in the trees was 60.25 Mg C ha−1 and 221.1 Mg CO2e ha−1. Laguncularia racemosa generated the highest contributions of CO2e. The area of mangroves accumulated 112,065 Mg of aboveground biomass. The carbon contained in this biomass corresponds to 205,623 Mg CO2e. This mangrove contributes to mitigating the effects of climate change globally through the reduction in greenhouse gases.
