| Abstract | Tides play a crucial role in regulating soil carbon storage in mangrove ecosystems by controlling both the quantity and stability of stored carbon. This study investigated the influence of tidal frequency on soil carbon storage and soil physicochemical properties along tidal gradients at The King’s Royally Initiated Laem Phak Bia Environmental Research and Development Project (LERD), Thailand. Two mangrove sites were compared: an experimental site receiving nutrient-enriched domestic wastewater and a natural forest. Each site was divided into three hydrological zones based on monthly tidal frequency (< 0.05) and showed a strong correlation with salinity and clay content. Despite nutrient enrichment, higher tidal frequency reduced in situ carbon storage. These results indicate that tidal regime is the dominant control on the spatial variation of mangrove soil carbon at LERD and highlight the importance of hydrological zoning for conserving mangrove blue carbon in Thailand. |
