This is our ninth annual horizon scan to identify emerging issues that we believe could affect
global biological diversity, natural capital and ecosystem services, and conservation efforts …

Mangrove soils represent a large sink for otherwise rapidly recycled carbon (C). However,
widespread deforestation threatens the preservation of this important C stock. It is therefore …

With the growing recognition that effective action on climate change will require a
combination of emissions reductions and carbon sequestration, protecting, enhancing and …

The recent launch of the Sentinel-1 (SAR) and Sentinel-2 (multispectral) missions offers a
new opportunity for land-based biomass mapping and monitoring especially in the tropics …

Blue carbon ecosystems require conservation and restoration to maximize organic carbon
(CORG) sequestration to ameliorate greenhouse gas emissions. Salt marshes, mangrove …

Mangroves sequester large quantities of carbon (C) that become significant sources of
greenhouse gases when disturbed through land‐use change. Thus, they are of great value …

Scientists have the difficult task of clearly conveying the ecological consequences of forest
and wetland loss to the public. To address this challenge, we scaled the atmospheric carbon …

Mangrove forests, one of the highest carbon density ecosystems, are very different from
other forests as they occupy saline and tidal habitats. Although previous studies in forests …

Aim Mangrove forests are important coastal wetlands for the blue carbon budget and play a
significant role in mitigating global climate change. However, spatial patterns of carbon …

Blue carbon in mangroves represents one of highest values of carbon stocks per hectare,
and could play an important role in climate change mitigation. In this study we estimated the …
