Storage is defined as the volume of blue carbon within coastal Quaternary sediments. Accordingly, estuaries that are more mature and have expansive alluvial and estuarine...

Wetland drainage and flood mitigation works have had a profound influence on hydrology, especially hydroperiod and tidal exchange across coastal NSW. Barriers or instream...

Human activities in coastal landscapes also exert both direct and indirect pressures on blue carbon (McLeod et al., 2011). Rogers et al. (2019) accounted for this pressure using...

Generation is defined as the capacity for existing mangrove forests and saltmarshes to contribute to carbon additionality from living biomass, dead organic material, and soil...
