Carbon storage by the ocean and by the land is usually quantified separately, and does not
fully take into account the land-to-ocean transport of carbon through inland waters …

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), including mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal
marshes, store carbon and provide co-benefits such as coastal protection and fisheries …

The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Abstract The term 'Blue Carbon'was coined about a decade ago to highlight the important
carbon sequestration capacity of coastal vegetated ecosystems. The term has paved the …

Mangroves and salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the global
coastal ocean. Mangroves store more carbon (739 Mg CORG ha− 1) than salt marshes (334 …

Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal saltmarshes are vegetated coastal
ecosystems that accumulate and store large quantities of carbon in their sediments. Many …

Mangroves and saltmarshes are biogeochemical hotspots storing carbon in sediments and
in the ocean following lateral carbon export (outwelling). Coastal seawater pH is modified by …

The role of coastal wetlands as natural 'blue carbon'sinks may be counter‐acted by
emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Site‐specific fluxes of these two …

The cost-effective mitigation of climate change through nature-based carbon dioxide
removal strategies has gained substantial policy attention. Inland and coastal wetlands …

Mangrove‐and saltmarsh‐dominated estuaries have high rates of organic carbon burial.
Here, we estimate soil, pore water, and surface‐water carbon fluxes in an Australian …
