Abstract: This study assesses the carbon storage rate in mangrove forest soils located within the Natural protected are named "Terminos Lagoon" in Atasta Peninsula, Campeche-México. Twelve sampling areas were considered within mangrove forests located in Nuevo Campechito, Puerto Rico y Xicalango, respectively, in Atasta peninsula. Samplings were carried out from February to August during 2009 and 2010 at 30 and 60 cm depth during three different climatic periods ("Norths" season, dry season and rainy season). Seasonal variations in the different physico-chemical parameters analyzed were: CE (4-14.8 dS/m), pH (6.5-8.2), Nitrogen (0.05-0.27%), Carbon (1.5-9%), C:N (33.0-44.0), C.A (59-190 Kg C m-2) and soil granulometric classification: Sand (29-71%), Silt (5-30%), and Clay (22-41%). The carbon storage was high and influenced by type of vegetation. Soil with associations of red and black mangrove speies showed the largest carbon storage (350 Kg C m-2 ) while the lowest !
carbon storage was found in buttonwood mangrove (45 Kg C m-2). The ratio C/N showed a low degradation rate of organic matter in all sampling sites studied. The obtained results in the studied ecosystem are the first estimates of carbon storage in the zone, and suggest the potential of this site as a carbon pool.
