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

Intertidal mangrove forests are a dynamic ecosystem experiencing rapid changes in extent
and habitat quality over geological history, today and into the future. Climate and sea level …

Coastal tidal wetlands produce and accumulate significant amounts of organic carbon (C)
that help to mitigate climate change. However, previous data limitations have prevented a …

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 …

Genomic studies are now poised to explore whole communities of species. The~ 70 species
of woody plants that anchor the coastal ecosystems of the tropics, collectively referred to as …

Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

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 …

Mangrove forests store and sequester large area-specific quantities of blue carbon (Corg).
Except for tundra and peatlands, mangroves store more Corg per unit area than any other …

Maximizing carbon sequestration in mangroves is part of the global effort to combat the
climate crisis. However, methane (CH4) emissions can partially offset carbon sequestration …

Blue carbon provides opportunities to mitigate climate change while increasing ecosystem
services for coastal communities, including climate change adaptation; however, blue …
