Coastal wetlands are vital ecosystems at the land–sea interface. They intercept land-based pollutants, regulate microclimates, and mediate carbon cycles. play a significant role in enhancing sequestration capacity maintaining ecological structure functioning. This study proposes an improved method for estimating blue storage coastal salt marsh wetlands, considering soil thickness, by utilizing enhanced Soil Land Inference Model (SoLIM) to estimate thickness with restricted number of sample points. The wetland index is integrated into Integrated Valuation Ecosystem Services Trade-offs (InVEST) estimation model, ultimately enabling visualization Liaohe Estuary wetland. Results indicate following: (1) studied area’s shows spatial distribution pattern that becomes progressively thinner from north south. more vegetation areas minor tidal flat areas, 52% region having between 40 60 cm. (2) In 2023, stock area estimated 389.85 × 106 t, high-value concentrated northern natural landscapes, low-value southern zone, characterized terrain human influence. coupled thickness–blue model provides methodological support refining wetlands. It also offers technical formulating policies on restoration, compensation, protection, management
