    Warning Bell of Climate Change in the Lower Gangetic Delta

    By Abhijit Mitra, Sufia Zaman

    Abstract: AbstractClimate change and subsequent temperature rise, sea level rise and acidification are the major threats to mangrove ecosystem of the world. Several researchers observed through short term and long term experiments, that climate change induced fluctuations of temperature, salinity and pH pose a serious threat to the coastal ecosystem. In this article, three basic indicators of climate change have been selected in the frame of Indian Sundarbans namely surface water …

    Molluscan Community: A Potential Sink of Carbon

    By Pardis Fazli, Harekrishna Jana, Ankita Mitra, Abhijit Mitra, Prosenjit Pramanick, Nabonita Pal, Sufia Zaman

    Abstract: Stored carbon in dominant molluscan species collected from three regions of the Indian subcontinent (Hooghly estuary in West Bengal, Mandovi estuary in Goa and Kalapet coast in Puducherry) was analyzed both in shell and flesh. The accumulation was more in the flesh (~35%) compared to the shell (~12%) irrespective of stations, seasons and species. Pronounced spatial variation of stored carbon was observed, which confirms the role of environmental variables on …

    Impact of Aila on the Dissolved Oxygen Level in the Indian Sundarbans Region

    By Sufia Zaman, Sangita Agarwal, Ankita Mitra, Gahul Amin, Prosenjit Pramanick, Abhijit Mitra

    Abstract: The Indian Sundarban delta complex is one of the hot spots of biodiversity in the Indian subcontinent sustaining some 34 species of true mangrove flora. The aquatic phase is saturated with dissolved oxygen (DO) and the average values in the present study area, Ajmalmari (considered on the basis of 3 decades; 1984–2014) are 5.81 ppm, 6.43 ppm and 6.13 ppm in premonsoon, monsoon and postmonsoon seasons respectively. These values include …

    Seagrass: A Store House of Carbon

    By Rajrupa Ghosh, Subrata Trivedi, Prosenjit Pramanick, Sufia Zaman, Abhijit Mitra

    Abstract: We analyzed stored carbon in the Above Ground Biomass (AGB) and Below Ground Biomass (BGB) of three seagrass species in Koswari, Kariyachalli and Vilanguchalli during March, 2014 at Gulf of Mannar. Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) was also monitored simultaneously to evaluate the amount of stored carbon in the underlying soil of the intertidal mud flat in the study area. In the selected quadrate, the order of abundance of the seagrass …

    Forecasting Heavy Metal Level on the Basis of Acidification Trend in the Major Estuarine System of Indian Sundarbans

    By Sufia Zaman, Utpal Kumar De, Prosenjit Pramanick, Subhasree Thakur, Gahul Amin, Pardis Fazli, Abhijit Mitra

    Abstract: The authors present here the temporal oscillations of aquatic pH, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in the ambient media of Hooghly estuary of Indian Sundarbans and forecast values of these variables in response to acidification phenomenon. The forecast has been done on the basis of 30 years of real-time data (1984–2013). The exponentialsmoothening-based forecast reflects the gradual lowering of pH in the estuarine water that has considerable impact …

    Loss of Carbon Credit through Radical Change in Land Use Pattern

    By Abhijit Mitra, Tanmay Ray Chaudhuri, Ankita Mitra, Sufia Zaman

    Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Coastal vegetations comprise the blue carbon community of the planet Earth. The community is known for its carbon sequestering potential since long evolutionary period of time. However, rapid industrialization and urbanization have changed the landscape and land use pattern in the coastal zone that has significantly hampered the carbon storage potential of coastal producer community. It is thus a challenge of …
