In all sampling plots, the standing dead trees were measured for total height, diameter
at base, and the DBH of the stem due to only the stem remaining.
Wood samples of mangrove species A. alba, B. parviflora, R. apiculata,
and S. caseolaris were collected for determining their specific gravity
and C content. The pneumatophores of the A. alba, A. officinalis, and
S. caseolaris were counted and harvested for determining the average
weight within 30 × 30 cm quadrants.
