From: Mangroves provide blue carbon ecological value at a low freshwater cost
Location of 71 mangrove study sites from the Florida-Caribbean and Indo-Pacific regions from which net primary productivity (NPP, kg C m-2 year−1) data were used to determine canopy transpiration (\({E}_{c}\)). Polygons (pink) over the oceans represent 20 °C summer and winter isotherms influencing mangrove distributions (updated from Duke et al. 1998, Glob. Ecol. Biogeogr. Letts., v. 7, p. 27–47). Insets represent comparative average \({E}_{c}\), \(ET\), and NPP values for litter, wood, and roots assuming a continuous mangrove coverage versus \(ET\) at a scale of 1 km2 for each of the two regions. Box plot depictions are the same as in Fig. 1. Base image created using ArcMAP 10 (Esri, Inc., Redlands, California, USA), https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/ .
