"Soil Carbon Stocks Vary Across Geomorphic Settings in Australian Tempe" by Connor Gorham, Paul Lavery et al.
Abstract Tidal marshes rank among the ecosystems with the highest capacity to sequester and store organic carbon (C ) on earth. To inform conservation of coastal vegetated ecosystems for climate change mitigation, this study investigated the factors driving variability in carbon storage. We estimated soil C stocks in tidal marshes across temperate Western Australia and assessed differences among geomorphic settings (marine and fluvial deltas, and mid-estuary) and vegetation type (Sarcocornia quinqueflora and Juncus kraussii) linked to soil biogeochemistry. Soil C stocks within fluvial and m...
