MACAU SAR HAS BEEN RAPIDLY DEVELOPING SINCE THE SINGLE SHIFT TOWARDS A GAMING INDUSTRY-DOMINATED ECONOMY, THE OVERWHELMING ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO INCREASING POLLUTION. MANGROVES, WHICH PLAY AN ESSENTIAL ROLE AS THE BLUE CARBON SYSTEM WITH A HIGH CARBON SEQUESTRATION RATE COULD BE A NATURAL BASE SOLUTION TO THE POLLUTION. THIS STUDY AIMS TO DETERMINE 1) THE TOTAL ORGANIC CARBON (TOC) IN THE SOIL OF MACAU MANGROVE SITES, 2) COMPARISON WITH THE METHODOLOGY EVALUATING THE ORGANIC CARBON, AND 3) ORGANIC CARBON COMPARISON BETWEEN MACAU AND OTHER REGIONS. SOIL SAMPLING WERE PROCESSED UNDER THE BLUE CARBON INITIATIVE GUIDELINE, AND THE SAMPLES WERE DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS FOR DETERMINING THE TOC%, COMBUSTION METHOD FROM HONG KONG, AND METHODOLOGY OF ASHING IN OUR LABORATORY. THE OVERALL ESTIMATED TOC% OF MACAU MANGROVE SITES WAS 1.29%. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF POTENTIALS IN CARBON STORAGE AND FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION IN MACAU<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-425102","tnc_col_19631_item","type-tnc_col_19631_item","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tnc_tax_19912-environmental-science-and-management","tnc_tax_19818-english","tnc_tax_19716-institute-of-science-and-environment","tnc_tax_19659-master-thesis","tnc_tax_19651-master"],"featured_img":false,"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/author\/emilychan\/","display_name":"emily chan"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 2 \u9031 ago","modified":"Updated 1 \u9031 ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on 21 8 \u6708, 2026","modified":"Updated on 24 8 \u6708, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on 21 8 \u6708, 2026 12:38 \u4e0a\u5348","modified":"Updated on 24 8 \u6708, 2026 12:16 \u4e0b\u5348"},"featured_img_caption":"","tax_additional":{"tnc_tax_19912":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/programme\/environmental-science-and-management\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND MANAGEMENT<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19912","name":"PROGRAMME"},"tnc_tax_19818":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/language\/english\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">ENGLISH<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">ENGLISH<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19818","name":"LANGUAGE"},"tnc_tax_19765":{"linked":[],"unlinked":[],"slug":"tnc_tax_19765","name":"SUPERVISOR(S)"},"tnc_tax_19716":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/faculty-research-unit\/institute-of-science-and-environment\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19716","name":"FACULTY \/ RESEARCH UNIT"},"tnc_tax_19659":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/resource-type\/master-thesis\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">THESIS &amp; DISSERTATION<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">THESIS &amp; DISSERTATION<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19659","name":"Document Type"},"tnc_tax_19651":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/degree-level\/master\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">MASTER<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">MASTER<\/span>"],"slug":"tnc_tax_19651","name":"DEGREE LEVEL"}},"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item\/425102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tnc_col_19631_item"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item\/425102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":431288,"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_19631_item\/425102\/revisions\/431288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.usj.edu.mo\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
