Abstract
The organic carbon content and composition in terms of extractable, thermally crackable and residual fractions were investigated by temperature controlled pyrolysis for mangrove sediments and plant parts. Mangrove foliage, wood and bark were rich in extractable and thermally crackable organic compounds while in the sediments the residual fraction accounted for >90% of the organic carbon. This transition occurs either during leaf senescence or in the uppermost sediment layers as only minor compositional changes were observed deeper in the sediment.
