This book gives an overview of various aspects of blue carbon
dynamics from each country bordering the Indian Ocean. Given the
importance of the topic of blue carbon, it can be assumed that in
near future, more and more researchers from the Indian Ocean
countries will pursue environmental research in this domain. This
book is a ready reference to all those who are interested to have a
holistic understanding about the ground scenario of blue carbon in
the Indian Ocean. There are many research institutes situated in
the periphery of the Indian Ocean that are devoted to nurturing the
new avenues of marine carbon research. Researchers and scholars
interested in this domain will find this book provides a good
overview, wherein all the necessary information on the status and
functioning of these blue carbon ecosystems are detailed in a
concise way. The book is also helpful to postgraduate students of
‘marine science’ or those who have a specialization in
‘marine biogeochemistry’ or ‘chemical oceanography’ to
develop a basic understanding about the very concept of ‘blue
carbon’ from the perspective of the Indian Ocean.
This book aims to give a holistic overview of the pond ecosystem of
Indian Sundarbans. Due to climate change, the Indian Sundarbans
faces several challenges. With rising sea levels, islands are
disappearing and the increasing salinity in the water and soil has
severely threatened the health of mangrove forests and the quality
of fresh water, soil and crops. Additionally, there have been
serious disturbances to hydrological parameters in the lotic as
well lentic ecosystems. This book provides new insights into lentic
ecosystem-oriented research in the deltaic ecosystem of GBM-I
(Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Indian Delta). The major findings from
various research works are brought together, and the gaps and
future possible ways forward are outlined. The book addresses the
SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG
14 (Life below Water), with a focus on the ecosystem services of
ponds in the Indian Sundarbans. Despite there being many studies on
riverine water, ground water and mangrove ecosystems of the Indian
Sundarbans, this book offers new insights into the pond ecosystem
of the Indian Sundarbans. The outcomes from this book can be
utilized by researchers from the inland fisheries sector,
environmental managers, professionals, and those who seek to
develop ways for making pond ecosystems sustainable.
