Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Estuaries are a major boundary in the land-ocean interaction zone where organic carbon
(OC) and nutrients are being processed, resulting in a high water-to-air carbon dioxide …

Understanding how marine organisms will be affected by global change is of primary
importance to ensure ecosystem functioning and nature contributions to people. This study …

Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global
carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes …

Ocean acidification is elicited by anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions and resulting
oceanic uptake of excess CO 2 and might constitute an abiotic stressor powerful enough to …

Carbon cycling in the coastal zone affects global carbon budgets and is critical for
understanding the urgent issues of hypoxia, acidification, and tidal wetland loss. However …

The air–sea exchanges of CO 2 in the world's 165 estuaries and 87 continental shelves are
evaluated. Generally and in all seasons, upper estuaries with salinities of less than two are …
