Mangrove forest structure, species composition, and biomass in fuelwood-harvested and non-harvested areas of Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary in eastern India

This dataset contains forest structure, composition and regeneration data including diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree heights for mangroves in fuelwood-harvested and non-harvested areas of Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary, on the eastern coast of India. This data was collected between October 2018 and March 2019 and used to assess mangrove aboveground biomass and blue carbon stocks. A complete account on the methodology used to collect this data is provided in the publication associated with this dataset, which can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2020.106974.本数据集涵盖印度东海岸巴伊塔尔卡尼卡野生动物保护区（Bhitarkanika Wildlife Sanctuary）内薪柴采伐区与未采伐区红树林的森林结构、群落组成及更新数据，包含胸径（diameter at breast height，DBH）与树高两类指标。该数据采集于2018年10月至2019年3月期间，用于评估红树林地上生物量与蓝碳储量。本数据集配套的学术论文中详细说明了数据采集的完整方法，相关研究可通过以下链接获取：https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2020.106974.
