(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The Khor Al Adaid embayment of southern Qatar represents a unique shallow-water mixed siliciclastic‑carbonate coastal depositional system that developed in a hyper-arid climatic setting over the past 6000 years. The ...
Mangrove carbon stocks and biomass partitioning in an extreme environment
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Global inventories that show mangrove forests have rich carbon stores currently lack data from arid areas where carbon stocks may be functionally impoverished relative to humid regions. We quantified total carbon stocks ...
