This study quantified aboveground biomass (AGB) and carbon stocks across six land-use types within Karang Gading and Langkat Timur Laut Wildlife Reserve, North Sumatra, Indonesia, covering 928.42 ha. High-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)–derived canopy height models were integrated with field-calibrated allometric equations, using basal area–weighted Lorey’s height to improve biomass estimation in structurally heterogeneous stands. Bias correction was applied to log-transformed models to minimize systematic error. Mean AGB ranged from 0.97 Mg ha⁻¹ in oil palm plantations to 278.54 Mg ha⁻¹ in natural mangroves. Corresponding aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks ranged from 0.46 to 130.92 Mg C ha⁻¹. Natural mangroves (92.82 ha) stored 12,151.99 Mg C (44,597.11 Mg CO₂e), while community forests (98 ha) stored 10,541.86 Mg C. In contrast, mixed agriculture and oil palm systems together contributed less than 2% of total landscape-level aboveground carbon. Under a conservative avoided deforestation scenario, total CO₂-equivalent stocks correspond to an indicative economic value of approximately USD 0.63–6.35 million at voluntary carbon market prices of USD 5–50 Mg CO₂e⁻¹. Although these values represent biophysical carbon stocks rather than verified emission reductions, the integration of UAV-derived structural metrics with field validation provides a robust and scalable framework for spatially explicit carbon accounting. These findings strengthen the empirical basis for evaluating land-use impacts on coastal carbon balance and support mitigation-oriented conservation and restoration planning in tropical mangrove landscapes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":505,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Balance and Management","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s13021-026-00440-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147661936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Carbon price changes on release days have a much stronger link to stock returns than changes on other days.

There is a pressing need for interdisciplinary research that collects ecosystem data at broader spatial and temporal scales while incorporating working farms and ranches. Such efforts are critical for informing grazing decisions and understanding grazinglands’ potential to deliver ecosystem services, including climate mitigation, water cycling, resilience, and rural livelihoods.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>The Metrics, Management, and Monitoring (3M) project addresses this need through a novel social-ecological framework that integrates biophysical, socioeconomic, and management data across U.S. grazinglands. The project combines controlled experiments at four intensively monitored “hubs” with data from 59 producer-managed farms and ranches. Its core objectives are to: (1) assess the social-ecological health of grazinglands across diverse ecoregions, (2) refine monitoring approaches to improve scalability and accuracy, and (3) integrate producer-led data to balance experimental rigor with real-world relevance. Over 50 scientists collaborate on 3M to evaluate how grazing strategies affect soil carbon, water dynamics, CO₂ fluxes, plant communities, productivity, social wellbeing, and producer economics.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>These insights support the development of ecosystem models and decision-support tools to help producers make evidence-based choices. Beyond data generation, 3M offers a scalable research model that bridges ecological and social sciences to support adaptive, informed grazing management. This integrated framework provides a transferable template for studying any working landscape where human and ecological systems are deeply interconnected.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":505,"journal":{"name":"Carbon Balance and Management","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s13021-026-00431-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147607719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
