Mangroves are ecologically and economically important forests of the tropics. They are highly productive ecosystems with rates of primary production equal to those of tropical …
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 …
Mangroves provide vital ecosystem services at the dynamic interface between land and oceans. Recent reports of mangrove mortality suggest that mangroves may be adversely …

A majority of the global net primary production of mangroves is unaccounted for by current carbon budgets. It has been hypothesized that this “missing carbon” is exported as dissolved …
Mangrove ecosystems store large amounts of'Blue Carbon', in particular in the sediment. Research in the past decade has emphasized the quantitative significance of carbon …
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 …
Worldwide, coastal systems provide some of the most productive habitats, which potentially influence a range of marine and terrestrial ecosystems through the transfer of nutrients and …
