Biomarker analysis revealed tidal organic carbon input enhanced soil respiration and weakened carbon sequestration function of estuarine wetland: Field validation of the Jiuduansha... by Haoyu Dong, Liwei Qian, Jianfang Yan, Lianying Gao, Xiaohua Fu, Lei Wang

“…N-alkanes analysis also indicated only 11.94%–13.76% of the tidal organic carbon originated from CO2 (phytoplankton organic carbon (OC)), therefore the tidal organic carbon input did not increase the wetland CO2 input significantly, but significantly increase SR and CO2 emission of the wetland, this will weaken carbon sequestration function of estuarine wetland. Therefore, future studies should explore strategies to balance carbon sequestration and tidal organic matter interception and purification functions of estuarine wetlands.…”
