Analysis of organic C and N content of fresh and senescent mangrove leaves of Gazi Bay (1990) and in situ decomposition of mangrove leaves and their nitrogen enrichment through biological nitrogen fixation during both rainy and dry season (1991-1992). The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Polk, P.; Okemwa, E. N. (1993). Dynamics and assessment of Kenyan mangrove ecosystems n° TS2-0240-C (GDF): final report (April 1993).
