Abstract Coastal wetlands surrounding urban environments provide many important ecosystem services including protection from coastal erosion, soil carbon sequestration and habitat for marine terrestrial fauna. Their persistence with sea-level rise depends upon their capacity to increase surface elevation at a rate comparable the of rise. Both sediment organic matter plant growth contribute gains in elevation, but importance these components varies among sites variation climate over long time scales, which monitoring is seldom available. Here, we analysed accretion mangrove tree 15 years Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia, period that spans El Niño/La Niña (ENSO) cycle, strongly influences rainfall sea level region. Piecewise structural equation models were used assess effects biotic (tree growth, cover bioturbation by invertebrates) environmental factors on annual increments throughout this period. Our model mangroves identified both positively influenced rainfall, was not, thus, higher levels compaction profile high rainfall/high inferred. In contrast, our saltmarsh found gains.

Decadal-scale ENSO affected trends more conditions than although (mangrove bioturbation) observed. Further research into tipping points extreme events (either La or Niño low levels) will help clarify future distribution within Bay.

Tidal marshes store large amounts of organic carbon in their soils. Field data quantifying soil (SOC) stocks provide an important resource for researchers, natural managers, and policy-makers working towards the protection, restoration, valuation these ecosystems. We collated a global dataset tidal marsh (MarSOC) from 99 studies that includes location, depth, site name, dry bulk density, SOC, and/or matter (SOM). The MarSOC 17,454 points 2,329 unique locations, 29 countries. generated general transfer function conversion SOM to SOC. Using this we estimated median (± absolute deviation) value 79.2 ± 38.1 Mg SOC ha-1 top 30 cm 231 134 1 m soils globally.

Abstract Anthropogenic sea level rise (SLR) presents one of the greatest risks to human lives and infrastructures. Coastal vegetated ecosystems, that is, tidal marshes, seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, elevate seabed through soil accretion, providing a natural coastline protection against SLR. The accretion these ecosystems has never been assessed in hot desert climate regions, where water runoff is negligible. However, tropical marine are areas intense calcification may constitute an important source sediment supporting elevation, compensating for lack terrestrial inputs.

Blue carbon ecosystems (including saltmarsh, mangrove, seagrass meadows, and other soft sediment habitats) play a valuable role in aquatic dynamics contribute significantly to global climate change mitigation. However, these habitats are undergoing rapid accelerating shifts extent due anthropogenic impactsstressors. Here, we demonstrate that blue stocks vary across cross-habitat subsidies of stocks. Using case study estuary from New Zealand, organic above ground biomass 100 cm varied between habitat types, saltmarsh (90 t ha-1), mangrove (46 (27 ha-1) unvegetated (26 ha-1). Despite being typically overlooked literature, contained the majority estuarine when adjusted for their large within (occupying 68.4% area containing 57% stocks). When were further refined based on δ13C δ15N mixing model results, coastal vegetation (saltmarsh, seagrass) was found provide important exchanges throughout estuary, including contributing an estimated 41% sediments, 51% total stock (yet occupying only 31.6% estuary). Given connected nature findings illustrate importance considering contribution cross both vegetated estuaries. This provides critical context assessing impact distributions impacts stressors.
