Spatial variability of soil microbial biomass carbon in the Kuala Selangor coastline mangroves

The rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases is recognized as a serious environmental issue as it has caused global climate change. Mangrove forests are a part of a unique ecosystem that protects and stabilizes coastlines as well as mitigates the impact of climate change. Man...
