“…Diking and draining of wetlands may lead to aerated soil conditions, decreased porewater salinity, changes in soil structure and bulk density, accelerated microbial decomposition of SOM, and subsidence (Drexler et al., 2019; Frenkel & Morlan, 1991; Kristensen et al., 1995; Spencer et al., 2017). In turn, wetland restoration may involve rewetting, return of tidal flows, increased sediment deposition, and change in salinity and plant communities that may affect SOM processing and trace gas emissions (Adams et al., 2012; Cornu & Sadro, 2002; Janousek et al., 2021). There is widespread interest in restoring Pacific Northwest (PNW) tidal wetlands, with 700 ha estimated to have been restored to date (Brophy, 2019).…”
