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

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 …

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 …

Salinization, a widespread threat to the structure and ecological functioning of inland and
coastal wetlands, is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate and geographic scale. The …

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 …

Despite their moderately sized surface area, continental marginal seas play a significant role
in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, as they receive huge amounts of upwelled and …

Mangrove‐and saltmarsh‐dominated estuaries have high rates of organic carbon burial.
Here, we estimate soil, pore water, and surface‐water carbon fluxes in an Australian …

Estuaries profoundly transform the large amounts of carbon delivered from rivers before their
transfer to the adjacent coastal zone. As a consequence of the complex biogeochemical …
