Abstract

Abstract Background Climate change is a global concern caused by increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, with many detrimental consequences. A potential approach to counter acting the effects of climate change is to actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. the biomass without damaging the vegetation. Results Based on the allometric equation, the biomass has the highest value in wadi El-Gimal for the growth stages sapling, there for the largest number of sapling found in this area. Carbon sequestration in four different locations of Avicennia marina was estimated. The highest carbon storage in stands of Abu Ghuson was 30 kg/hectare than in these in other sites. the carbon dioxide absorption of trees in Sharm El-Bahary was higher than in the other studied sites is 24.8kg/hectare. Conclusion These estimates suggest high Biomass and carbon sequestration potential despite the relatively small area of the Avicennia marina along the Red Sea Coast.
