“…Both indices have been shown to be good remotely sensed metrics of changes in forest canopy cover and canopy leaf physiology associated with cyclones, including mangroves, although they are limited by their sensitivity to light canopy damage (Peereman et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2016). Moreover, the SWIR band and the NDII have been used successfully to follow mangrove recovery (Gang et al, 2020;Peneva-Reed et al, 2020). We calculated cyclone-induced absolute change in a VI (ΔVI absolute ), or the difference between pre-cyclone and post-cyclone VI values, and the relative VI change (ΔVI relative ), or the ratio of absolute change to the pre-cyclone value, represented as a percentage.…”

Protocol described in Peneva-Reed and others was followed for the field survey procedure, including sampling (systematic random sampling), determination of sample size, identification of tree species, mortality status, and measurements of live and dead trees as well as downed dead wood (see S1 Appendix for more information) [ 24 ].

A comprehensive assessment of mangrove species and carbon stock on Pohnpei, Micronesia

Mangrove forests are the most important ecosystems on Pohnpei Island, Federated States of Micronesia, as the island communities of the central Pacific rely on the forests for many essential services including protection from sea-level rise that is occurring at a greater pace than the global average. As part of a multi-component assessment to evaluate vulnerabilities of mangrove forests on Pohnpei, mangrove forests were mapped at two points in time: 1983 and 2018. In 2018, the island had 6,426 ha of mangrove forest. Change analysis indicated a slight (0.76%) increase of mangrove area between 1983 and 2018, contrasting with global mangrove area declines. Forest structure and aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks were inventoried using a systematic sampling of field survey plots and extrapolated to the island using k-nearest neighbor and random forest species models. A gridded or wall to wall approach is suggested when possible for defining carbon stocks of a large area due to high variability seen in our data. The k-nearest neighbor model performed better than random forest models to map species dominance in these forests. Mean AGC was 167 ± 11 MgC ha-1, which is greater than the global average of mangroves (115 ± 7 MgC ha-1) but within their global range (37–255 MgC ha-1) Kauffman et al. (2020). In 2018, Pohnpei mangroves contained over 1.07 million MgC in AGC pools. By assigning the mean AGC stock per species per area to the map, carbon stock distributions were visualized spatially, allowing future conservation efforts to be directed to carbon dense stands.

“…A study conducted by Meixler (2017) analyzed the ES loss caused by Hurricane Sandy in habitats within Jamaica Bay and New York using orthoimagery and land use maps. Another study successfully estimated specific ES loss and recovery in mangrove ecosystems through the assessment of the impacts of Hurricane Charley 2004 on the aboveground carbon stock in Southwest Florida (Peneva-Reed et al, 2020). Despite several pieces of literature on the ES assessment, there is little knowledge for the coast of Bangladesh.…”

Significance StatementKnowledge about the impacts of natural hazards on ecosystem services is crucial to guide the effective management of ecosystem components in a particular landscape. The coastal landscape of Bangladesh is a source of numerous ecosystem services on one hand and also exposed to natural hazards, especially to tropical cyclones on the other hand. Almost every year the tropical cyclones and associated storm surges cause severe devastation to the ecosystem services in the eastern coastal region of the country. We for the very first time in Bangladesh applied the remote sensing method with the Millennium Assessment technique to map coastal ecosystem service capacity and assess their degree of exposure to the tropical cyclone in the eastern coastal region of the country. Our study identifies the aquatic environments, mangrove and hilly forests having the highest potentials of ecosystem service capacity, which needs to be protected from the natural hazards through implementing appropriate land use and nature-focused disaster management policies for sustainable, equitable, and effective use of the ecological resources.
