Abstract The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the
disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon …

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

Wetland soils contain some of the highest stores of soil carbon in the biosphere. However,
there is little understanding of the quantity and distribution of carbon stored in our remaining …

To promote the sequestration of blue carbon, resource managers rely on best‐management
practices that have historically included protecting and restoring vegetated coastal habitats …

“Blue carbon” ecosystems, which include tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and seagrass
meadows, have large stocks of organic carbon (Corg) in their soils. These carbon stocks are …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

The spatial extent of seagrass is poorly mapped, and knowledge of historical loss is limited.
Here, we collated empirical and qualitative data using systematic review methods to provide …

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 …

Seagrasses are among the Earth's most efficient and long-term carbon sinks, but coastal
development threatens this capacity. We report new evidence that disturbance to seagrass …

Australia's tidal marshes have suffered significant losses but their recently recognised
importance in CO2 sequestration is creating opportunities for their protection and …
