Christiane Do Nascimento : CarbonMangro 2D

Mangroves are among the most important tropical coastal ecosystems, acting as significant carbon sinks. Brazil has the second-largest mangrove area worldwide, however many sites are threatened by eutrophication from anthropogenic pressures. Despite their ecological relevance, knowledge gaps remain on how carbon, nitrogen, iron and phosphorus are remobilized from sediments into pore water and, subsequently, tidal water. Mobility is crucial for advancing this research in Brazil, given the global importance of mangroves. Collaboration with the French TROPECOS team will support successful implementation, strengthen technical exchange between Brazilian and French researchers, and enable field activities, data analysis, and the expansion of studies in Rio de Janeiro.
