Abstract: [1] Wetlands represent the largest component of the terrestrial biological carbon pool and thus play an important role in global carbon cycles. Most global carbon budgets, however, have focused on dry land ecosystems that extend over large areas and have not accounted for the many small, scattered carbon-storing ecosystems such as tidal saline wetlands. We compiled data for 154 sites in mangroves and salt marshes from the western and eastern Atlantic and Pacific coasts, as well as the Indian Ocean, Mediterrane… Show more

“…At present, an estimated one third (~2 Gt C yr-1) of anthropogenic CO 2 emissions are sequestered by the oceans (Orr et al 2001, Takahashi et al 2002. In addition, coastal habitats such as mangroves, sand dunes and saltmarsh have the capacity to sequester carbon at a rapid rate (Alongi et al 2012, Jones et al 2008, Chmura et al 2003 and, on accreting coasts, this may occur to considerable depth or lateral extent (Chmura et al 2003). The relative carbon storage potential of coastal habitats is now considered to play a significant role in the regulation of both local and global climate (Pendleton et al 2012, Nellemann et al 2009, Irving et al 2011).…”

“…Rates of net primary production in mangrove forests are the highest of any ecosystem (> 2 t ha À1 yr À1 ), and vast amounts of carbon accumulate within their underlying litter (Alongi, 1998;Chmura et al, 2003). As a result, they play a key role in nutrient cycling in coastal ecosystems and global carbon cycling, and have been demonstrated to act both as nutrient sources and sinks .…”

“…The rest of the harvest consists of a mix of other shrimps, mud crabs, and other aquaculture products (Vu et al 2013;Jonell and Henriksson 2014). The GHG emissions from mangrove LULUC from shrimp farming were subsequently estimated to be 184 t CO 2 -eq t −1 live shrimp at farm gate using mass allocation and 282 t CO 2 -eq t −1 live shrimp using economic allocation (see ESM 2 for details on the calculations and Twilley et al 1992;Eong 1993;Matsui 1998;Kauffman et al 2011;Donato et al 2011;Ray et al 2011;Donato et al 2012 b Komiyama et al 1987;Twilley et al 1992;Matsui 1998;Kauffman et al 2011;Ray et al 2011;Donato et al 2012c Eong 1993Matsui 1998;Kauffman et al 2011;Ray et al 2011;Donato et al 2012;Lundstrum and Chen 2014 d Twilley et al 1992;Amarasinghe and Balasubramaniam 1992;Eong 1993;Day et al 1996;Middleton and McKee 2001;Jennerjahn and Ittekkot 2004;Guzman et al 2005;Ray et al 2011 e Twilley et al 1992;Eong 1993;Duarte and Cabrián 1996;Chmura et al 2003;Alongi 2008;Sanders et al 2010;Ray et al 2011;Mcleod et al 2011 Rewetted land, previously vegetated by mangrove, salinity >18 ppm kg CH 4 ha −1 year −1 0 R a n g e=0 -40 (uniform) IPCC 2014 assumptions behind them).

“…The sequestration of carbon in sediments and the depth of the soil may therefore continue to increase over millennia (Eong 1993;Duarte et al 2005;Mcleod et al 2011). Their organically rich soils, typically extending downward over several meters, make up one of the largest organic carbon reserves in the terrestrial biosphere (Chmura et al 2003;Lovelock 2008). Sequestration rates have been estimated at between 228 and 766 t ha −1 year −1 Lundstrum and Chen 2014).…”
