Ocean Blue Carbon Per Hectare Calculator

Calculate CO2 sequestration from mangroves, seagrass, and salt marshes. Blue carbon ecosystems store 3-5x more carbon per hectare than tropical forests.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Calculate CO2 sequestration from mangroves, seagrass, and salt marshes. Blue carbon ecosystems store 3-5x more carbon per hectare than tropical forests

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Mangroves — The mangroves recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Seagrass — The seagrass recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Salt marshes — The salt marshes recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the ocean blue carbon result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the mangroves, seagrass, salt marshes for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate CO2 sequestration from mangroves, seagrass, and salt marshes. Blue carbon ecosystems store 3-5x more carbon per hectare than tropical forests. Use the ocean blue carbon result to inform your clinical assessment.
