Mangrove restoration pathways that maximize carbon sequestration potential have been explored, but these have mostly postulated questions related to tree species selection11,12, or how attaining restoration might occur most efficiently (e.g., natural process vs. active facilitation; monoculture vs. mixed...
I did start the book from a fairly cerebral place where I thought, “Oh yeah, great subject. Like, this will bring up all kinds of great questions, and I’ll be able to go down all these roads in terms of the research and make these points, and it’s gonna be a really great opp...
