Field data quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks provide an important resource for researchers, natural resource managers, and policy-makers working towards the protection, restoration, and valuation of these ecosystems. We collated a global dataset of tidal marsh soil organic carbon (MarSOC) from 99 studies that includes location, soil depth, site name, dry bulk density, SOC, and/or soil organic matter (SOM). The MarSOC dataset includes 17,454 data points from 2,329 unique locations, and 29 countries. We generated a general transfer function for the conversion of SOM to SOC. Using this data we estimated a median (+/- median absolute deviation) value of 79.2 +/- 38.1 Mg SOC ha-1 in the top 30 cm and 231 +/- 134 Mg SOC ha-1 in the top 1 m of tidal marsh soils globally. This data can serve as a basis for future work, and may contribute to incorporation of tidal marsh ecosystems into climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and policies.
- Seagrass ecosystem services: assessment and scale of benefitsPublication . de los Santos, Carmen B.; Scott, Abbi; Arias-Ortiz, Ariane; Jones, Benjamin; Kennedy, Hilary; Mazarrasa, Inés; McKenzie, Len; Nordlund, Lina Mtwana; de la Torre-Castro, Maricela de la T; Unsworth, Richard K.F.; Ambo-Rappe, Rohani; Potouroglou, M; Grimsditch, G; Weatherdon, L; Lutz, SSeagrass ecosystems provide a wide variety of services that support human well-being around the world (Barbier et al. 2011). It is estimated that more than 1 billion people live within 100 km of a coast with seagrass meadows, thus potentially benefiting from their provisioning, regulating and cultural services. Seagrasses play a significant global role in supporting food security, mitigating climate change, enriching biodiversity, purifying water, protecting the coastline and controlling diseases (Figure 2). The integrity and provision of services by seagrass meadows are enhanced by their proximity and connectivity to other coastal ecosystems such as tidal marshes, coral reefs, mangrove and kelp forests, and oyster and mussel beds. The maintenance and regulation of these services is therefore essential to support human well-being and promote development in the future.
