Recent Nitrogen Storage and Accumulation Rates in Mangrove Soils Exceed Historic Rates in the Urbanized San Juan Bay Estuary (Puerto Rico, United States)

Abstract: Tropical mangrove forests have been described as “coastal kidneys,” promoting sediment deposition and filtering contaminants, including excess nutrients. Coastal areas throughout the world are experiencing increased human activities, resulting in altered geomorphology, hydrology, and nutrient inputs. To effectively manage and sustain coastal mangroves, it is important to understand nitrogen (N) storage and accumulation in systems where human activities are causing rapid changes in N inputs and cycling. We exam… Show more

“…These findings indicate significantly higher nutrient concentrations, particularly in TN and TP, within the mangrove forest area compared to the neighboring Tien Hai and Thai Binh coastal areas, which represent the adjacent estuary. This observation corroborates similar findings from various global studies, including those conducted at Dongzhai Port, China [16]; Yunxiao National Mangrove Reserve and Zhangjiang Estuary, Southeast China [17]; and San Juan Bay Estuary, Puerto Rico, United States [18].…”
