本レビューは、カンボジアの希少マングローブ種（絶滅危惧種を含む）の生態と保全状況を整理し、それらがブルーカーボン貯蔵に果たす機能的役割を考察する。希少種は高い木材密度や分解の遅いリターなどの特性により、炭素貯留に不均衡に貢献し、生態系の回復力を高める可能性がある。しかし、選択的伐採や気候変動などの脅威に直面しており、効果的な保全と気候緩和には希少種の保護を明示的に組み込む必要があると主張する。

This review synthesizes knowledge on rare mangrove species in Cambodia, including critically endangered ones, and their functional roles in blue carbon storage. It argues that rare species, through traits like high wood density and slow-decomposing litter, contribute disproportionately to carbon sequestration and ecosystem resilience. Despite their importance, they face threats from logging and climate change. The paper calls for integrating rare species protection into mangrove conservation and climate mitigation strategies, proposing a framework for biodiversity-informed blue carbon initiatives.

日本のGX文脈において
日本ではブルーカーボン生態系（藻場・干潟・マングローブ）の保全が注目されているが、本論文は希少種に焦点を当てた点がユニーク。日本のブルーカーボンJ-クレジット制度や、沖縄・九州のマングローブ保全政策への示唆として、種多様性を考慮した炭素貯留評価の重要性を提供する。
In the global GX context
Globally, blue carbon ecosystems are increasingly recognized for climate mitigation, but most initiatives focus on common species. This paper highlights the disproportionate carbon storage contribution of rare mangrove species, challenging the assumption that species richness is secondary to biomass. It offers a biodiversity-informed perspective relevant to international frameworks like the IPCC Wetlands Supplement and the emerging focus on nature-based solutions (NbS) in climate policy.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Cambodia's mangrove forests, though diminished in extent, host a unique assemblage of rare mangrove species, including the critically endangered Bruguiera hainesii, Heritiera littoralis, and Xylocarpus granatum. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the ecology, conservation status, and functional roles of these rare species within Cambodia's blue carbon ecosystems. It posits that rare mangroves, through distinct functional traits such as high wood density, slow-decomposing litter, and unique root architectures, contribute disproportionately to carbon storage and sequestration processes, while also enhancing ecosystem resilience. Despite their potential significance, these species face acute threats from selective logging, habitat conversion, and climate change, exacerbated by their inherent vulnerability. The review argues that effective mangrove conservation and climate mitigation strategies must explicitly integrate the protection of rare species to ensure the permanence and resilience of carbon stocks. It concludes by proposing a framework for biodiversity-informed blue carbon initiatives, linking targeted conservation, trait-based restoration, and refined carbon finance mechanisms, and identifies critical research priorities—including species-specific carbon assessments and distribution mapping—to guide policy and management in Cambodia. Keywords: Rare mangrove species, blue carbon, Cambodia, Functional traits, Ecosystem resilience, Conservation, Carbon sequestration, Mangrove restoration
