The Pre-feasibility study on mangrove restoration, conservation, and carbon footprint analysis project
The pre-feasibility study will be anchored through the Mangrove Habitat Suitability model. The model will analyze Topographic Parameters, Environmental Parameters, Water Parameters, Soil Parameters, Bioclimatic parameters, Socio-economic Parameters, and Disturbance Parameters. Along with the above-mentioned seven parameters, the study will also capture the following information to identify the potential mangrove restoration and conservation sites and location-specific species suitability.
Components of pre-feasibility assessment
- Soil & water quality
- Diameter of mangroves
- Root-shoot ratio, normally less than 1
- Soil carbon is to be calculated based on previous info
- Biodiversity
- Stem volume of tree (m3)
- Density of tree species
- Biomass expansion factor
- Root-shoot ratio
- # trees per Ha
- Size of sample plot in stratum i (ha)
- # trees per plot
- The ratio of the area of stratum i to the sum of areas of tree biomass estimation strata
- Mean change in tree biomass per hectare in stratum i
- The sum of areas of the tree biomass estimation strata
- Carbon fraction of tree biomass; t C (t d.m.)-1.
