Mangroves are estimated to absorb and store carbon at a rate of around 1,000 kilograms per hectare per year, which is equivalent to roughly 3-5 times more than most other types of forests. This translates to mangroves sequestering about 2-4 times more carbon per unit area compared to tropical forests.
