The global biophysical potential for mangrove restoration dataset

<p>This dataset is the restoration potential area estimates, restoration potential index scores and ecosystem service values (carbon and fisheries) to accompany the paper "The global biophysical potential for mangrove restoration" -  Worthington et al. (In Review). </p> <h2>Description of files</h2> <p><strong>R Scripts & Data</strong></p> <ul> <li>This folder contain several R scripts and datafiles used to calculate the values in Worthington et al. (In Review)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Mangrove_Typology_v3_Composite</strong></p> <ul> <li>This folder contains a shapefile that is the spatial framework of the research. Full details of the mangrove typology can be found at <a href="../records/8340259">A global biophysical typology of mangroves version 3</a>. <ul> <li>The data in 'Data Exports' can be joined to the mangrove spatial typology shapefile using the 'ID' column.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Data Exports</strong></p> <ul> <li>This folder contains several data exports that summarise the data behind Worthington et al., (In Review)  <ul> <li>Unit_Area_Data.csv: This spreadsheet has area statistic data for each of the 3983 mangrove typological units.</li> <li>Restoration_Index_Data.csv: This spreadsheet has the restoration potential index data for each of the 3983 mangrove typological units.</li> <li>Fisheries_Benefits_Data.csv: 3) Fisheries_Benefits_Data.csv: This spreadsheet has the potential additional individuals of 37 mangrove-affiliated marine fish and invertebrate species of commercial importance whose populations are estimated to increase with mangrove restoration.</li> <li>AGB_Carbon_Benefits_Data.csv: This spreadsheet has the potential secured and restored aboveground biomass (AGB) carbon stock (MgC) over a 40-year time horizon from restoration of mangroves.</li> <li>SOC_Carbon_Benefits_Data.csv: his spreadsheet has the potential secured and restored soil carbon stock (MgC, top 1 m) over a 40-year time horizon from restoration of mangroves</li> <li>Country_Statistics.csv: This spreadsheet summarises the restoration, fisheries and carbon benefits at the national level.</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
