Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages
between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying …

Cape dwarf eelgrass Zostera capensis is the most abundant seagrass in South Africa, with
some isolated populations occurring along the East African coastline. Providing numerous …

Tidal marshes store large amounts of organic carbon in their soils. Field data quantifying soil
organic carbon (SOC) stocks provide an important resource for researchers, natural …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems are acknowledged for their capacity to sequester organic
carbon (OC), known as blue C. Yet, blue C global accounting is incomplete, with major gaps …

Blue carbon ecosystems (mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) contribute towards
climate change mitigation because they are efficient at sequestering atmospheric CO 2 into …

The blue carbon ecosystem, including the salt marsh ecosystem, possesses a significant
carbon sequestration potential. Therefore, accurately quantifying the carbon storage within …

Tidal marshes are threatened coastal ecosystems known for their capacity to store large
amounts of carbon in their water-logged soils. Accurate quantification and mapping of global …

Saltmarshes are suffering from severe degradation due to anthropogenic activities, leading
to the loss of blue carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Given the significant …

Background Seagrass and salt marsh ecosystems are recognised for their role in climate
change mitigation and adaptation given their carbon storage potential. However, factors …

How would the biodiversity of macroalgae modify carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks within
a blue carbon habitat? We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying biomass stocks of …
