    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 …

    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 …
