This dataset contains the findings of a carbon stock inventory conducted by CATIE (Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza)
published in 2018. The aim of this project was to measure carbon stocks at the ecosystem level in mangroves of different land use classes within two sites in El Salvador, Jiquilisco Bay and the Jaltepeque estuary. Measurements included in this dataset were taken from sediment cores, aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, and downed and deadwood surveys.
