Here we provide a global review on nutrient accumulation rates in mangroves which were
derived from sixty-nine dated sediment cores, addressing environmental and anthropogenic
influences. Conserved mangroves presented nitrogen and phosphorous accumulation rates
near to 5.8±2.1 and 0.8±0.5 gm− 2 yr− 1, respectively. These values were significantly lower
than those observed for mangroves impacted by coastal eutrophication, which were found to
bury 21.5±8.6 and 17.9±2.4 g m-2 yr− 1, of nitrogen and phosphorous respectively …
