Abstract

Bhitarkanika Wild Life Sanctuary (BWLS) is a unique mangrove dominated forest patch in Odisha, a maritime state in the north east part of India. Carbon sequestration in 29 true mangrove floral species was estimated based on the stored carbon in the stem region of the documented species in 2012 and 2016. We willingly avoided the estimation of stored carbon in the branches, twigs and leaves as these above ground structures are relatively semi-permanent in nature (unlike the stout stem of the tree) and contribute to litter and detritus that are ultimately buried under the soil or drain out to the adjacent estuary. The carbon sequestration rate is approximately 10.92 t ha-1y-1 by the stem region of the mangrove trees, which represents 40.08 t ha-1y-1 carbon dioxide equivalent.

There has been great interest on the selective and efficient biological imaging, cell labeling, anti–microbial agents and anti–cancer Nano drugs in nanomedicines based drug delivery systems for anti–cancer targeting and treatment. Medical, medicinal, clinical and pharmaceutical applications of Estradiol, Mestranol (Norlutin),

Norethindrone (NET), Norethisterone Acetate (NETA), Norethisterone Enanthate (NETE) and Testosterone nanoparticles as biological imaging, cell labeling, anti–microbial agents and anti–cancer Nano drugs is known to occur in several pathways leading to nanomedicines based drug delivery systems for anti–cancer targeting and treatment.
