The rivers Pamaniyar , Koraiyar , Kilaithankiyar , Marakkakoraiyar and other tributaries of the Cauvery flow through the area and adjacent villages.
Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 300 times that of carbon dioxide and is the dominant ozone-depleting substance emitted in the 21st century. [10] Excess nutrients mainly from anthropogenic sources have been shown to significantly increase the N 2 O fluxes from wetland soils through denitrification and ...

They also contribute to carbon sequestration, thus helping mitigate climate change. [14] According to the Indian State of Forest Report (2021), mangroves in India store an estimated 4.9 million tons of carbon per year, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation efforts. [11]
"Mangroves, expanding with the warming climate, are re-shaping the Texas coast" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and ...
Mangroves are an important source of blue carbon. Globally, mangroves stored 4.19 Gt (9.2 × 10 12 lb) of carbon in 2012. Two percent of global mangrove carbon was lost between 2000 and 2012, equivalent to a maximum potential of 0.316996250 Gt (6.9885710 × 10 11 lb) of emissions of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere.
