[HTML][HTML] Sphagnum increases soil's sequestration capacity of mineral-associated organic carbon via activating metal oxides
Y Zhao, C Liu, X Li, L Ma, G Zhai, X Feng - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
Sphagnum wetlands are global hotspots for carbon storage, conventionally attributed to the
accumulation of decay-resistant litter. However, the buildup of mineral-associated organic …

Refining the global estimate of mangrove carbon burial rates using sedimentary and geomorphic settings
JL Breithaupt, HE Steinmuller - Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
This study provides updated analysis of multi‐decadal mangrove organic carbon (OC) burial
rates. The available data indicate mangroves bury 138.6 (120.3–158.8, 95% CI) g OC m− 2 …
