Stocks and Productivity of Dead Wood in Mangrove Forests: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract: The functional and ecological importance of dead wood in terrestrial forests is widely recognized and researched. In contrast, much less is known about dead wood in mangrove forests, despite its known or demonstrated contribution to key ecological processes including nutrient cycling and seedling recruitment. In addition, mangrove dead wood provides an important service for millions of people; harvesting wood for fuel is widespread in mangroves and is often vital for the lives and wellbeing of people living cl… Show more

“…The inclusion of DOM will certainly improve accuracy in emissions and removals reporting, particularly where forest management is applied for wood resource extraction. The highest DOM found in degraded mangrove of 24.34 ± 6.67 Mg ha −1 is comparable with those found in Kenya of 29.92 ± 36.72 Mg ha −1 [ 32 ] .…”

“…Globally, mangrove deadwood stock calculated from a review of 76 sites has a mean of 16.9 ± 25.4 and 29.9 ± 36.7 Mg ha −1 or 8.4 ± 12.7 and 15.0 ± 18.4 Mg C ha −1 for standing and downed wood, respectively (Mugi et al, 2022). Deadwood accumulates on the forest floor at rates of 3.2 (1.6-5.7) Mg C ha −1 year −1 , with the lowest contributions in forests where wood is harvested for either fuel or fishing equipment (Mugi et al, 2022).…”

“…From the search results, 347 pieces of literature will be filtered. In the literature screening, the researcher chooses the title and abstract separately, as Mugi et al (2022) did. The results of the literature screening are only relevant to the management of mangrove ecosystems, and they only look at the last five years, from 2018 to 2022, so that data can be kept up to date.…”
