Nitrous oxide fluxes in estuarine environments: response to global change
Nitrous oxide is a powerful, long‐lived greenhouse gas, but we know little about the role of
estuarine areas in the global N2O budget. This review summarizes 56 studies of N2O fluxes …

Methane and nitrous oxide emissions complicate coastal blue carbon assessments
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 …

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 …

What do we need to assess the sustainability of the tidal salt marsh carbon sink?
GL Chmura - Ocean & Coastal Management, 2013 - Elsevier
Tidal salt marshes provide a range of ecosystem services. The most recently recognized is
their provision of highly effective sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide, a characteristic they …

Exotic Spartina alterniflora invasion alters ecosystem–atmosphere exchange of CH4 and N2O and carbon sequestration in a coastal salt marsh in China
Coastal salt marshes are sensitive to global climate change and may play an important role
in mitigating global warming. To evaluate the impacts of Spartina alterniflora invasion on …

Effects of salinity on denitrification and greenhouse gas production from laboratory-incubated tidal forest soils
We measured ambient and potential denitrification in tidal freshwater floodplain forest (tidal
forests) soils along the Altamaha, Ogeechee, and Satilla Rivers in southeast Georgia to …

Evidence for fungal and chemodenitrification based N2O flux from nitrogen impacted coastal sediments
Although increasing atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O) has been linked to nitrogen loading,
predicting emissions remains difficult, in part due to challenges in disentangling diverse …

Productive wetlands restored for carbon sequestration quickly become net CO2 sinks with site-level factors driving uptake variability
Inundated wetlands can potentially sequester substantial amounts of soil carbon (C) over
the long-term because of slow decomposition and high primary productivity, particularly in …

Cross-sectoral interactions of adaptation and mitigation measures
Adaptation and mitigation are complementary strategies for addressing the impacts of
climate change, yet are often considered separately. This paper examines the literature for …
