The Natural Capital Project  Help people understand what we get from nature  Use that understanding to inform decisions

With sea level rise? With expanded aquaculture? With nearshore habitat restoration? How will flows of ecosystem services change: InVEST is a scenario assessment tool

How might shoreline armoring affect Erosion/flooding from storm events? Coastal and marine recreation? Nursery habitat for key species? Fisheries?

Blue carbon model Objectives: – Estimate the amount of atmospheric carbon stored and sequestered by coastal vegetation – Estimate the social value of storage and sequestration

Shrimp farming in Honduras (NASA) Goal: What if? -How will carbon storage and sequestration change if we convert mangroves to shrimp farms? -If we restore a salt marsh? -If we pave over a marsh? -How about consequent effects on other ecosystem services?

Mangrove carbon budget Long term sequestration (g C/m2/yr) (4+ yrs) 1. high belowground productivity 2. plants trap allocthonous materials 3. anoxia Storage (g C/m2) standing stock, not dynamic aboveground biomass (live) belowground biomass sediments aboveground (dead >1-2 yrs) Adapted from Bouillon et al Accounting approach Harvested wood F

Key questions How deep are the sediments? Function of age? How is storage and sequestration affected by habitat conversion, and what is the fate of existing sediment C stocks? – Total loss of C stocks may exceed the removal of standing biomass alone---how do we estimate this? – Do we know enough about the fate of C after different types of conversion? Valuation! Market price vs. social cost etc. F

Storage depends on species, latitude and density of vegetation, patch size Sequestration depends on species, latitude, sediment delivery -higher latitude species have lower NPP, but higher sequestration, because decomposition rates are lower -slow growing species with a high allocation of biomass to belowground tissues will sequester the most carbon -higher sediment delivery increases sequestration potential because vegetation can store more allocthonous carbon this way.
