"Carbon storage in coastal wetlands is related to elevation and how it " by Christopher J. Owers, Colin D. Woodroffe et al.
National and global scale initiatives to reduce loss and promote restoration of coastal ecosystems have leveraged the capacity of mangrove and saltmarsh to contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. The success of these programs is predicated on reliable estimates of carbon storage and how this changes over time. Efforts to describe spatial variation in below-ground carbon storage have largely focussed on surface sediments, with few studies able to characterise carbon at greater soil depths. This study demonstrates that landscape position occupied by wetland vegetati...
