Refining the Global Estimate of Mangrove Carbon Burial Rates Using Sedimentary and Geomorphic Settings

Abstract This study provides updated analysis of multi‐decadal mangrove organic carbon (OC) burial rates. The available data indicate mangroves bury 138.6 (120.3–158.8, 95% C.I.) g OC m−2 yr−1 locally, or 20.18 (17.52–23.12) Tg yr−1 globally. We contend that this common approach of upscaling from a...
