Recovering wetland biogeomorphic feedbacks to restore the world's biotic carbon hotspots
Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Carbon removal using coastal blue carbon ecosystems is uncertain and unreliable, with questionable climatic cost-effectiveness
P Williamson, JP Gattuso - Frontiers in climate, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal saltmarshes are vegetated coastal
ecosystems that accumulate and store large quantities of carbon in their sediments. Many …

Geomorphic and ecological constraints on the coastal carbon sink
Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

Blue carbon benefits from global saltmarsh restoration
Coastal saltmarshes are found globally, yet are 25%–50% reduced compared with their
historical cover. Restoration is incentivised by the promise that marshes are efficient storers …
