Soil Organic Carbon and Its Controlling Factors in the Lakeside of West Mauri Lake along the Wetland Vegetation Types

“…Changes in wetland carbon pools are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature [11], water level [29], and soil nutrients. Clarifying the magnitude and seasonal variation of SOC and its main influential factors in the lakeside zone is of significance both to accurately evaluate the role of wetland ecosystems in global climate change and to deeply understand the mechanisms of carbon pool changes in wetland ecosystems [2].…”

“…Wetlands are a type of ecosystem located between water bodies and land and are known as one of the three major ecosystems along with forests and oceans [1]. The ecosystem service function of wetlands is currently declining, and wetland restoration has thus become a hot topic [2,3]. The effective implementation of wetland restoration requires an in-depth study of the ecological process of wetland systems.…”

Ecological Restoration Effectively Mitigated pCO2 and CO2 Evasions From Severely Polluted Urban Rivers

“…Long‐term (15 years) measurements of an urbanization‐impacted lake showed that p CO 2 variation negatively responded to environmental investment, indicating that watershed management may slow CO 2 emissions from artificially controlled inland waters (Xiao, Duan, et al., 2020). Another study found that restoration has a negligible influence on CO 2 effluxes in coastal wetlands (Comer‐Warner et al., 2022). In some studies of metropolitan river networks, the average CO 2 saturation and evasion in rivers located in urban areas, on a holistic level, were more than three times higher than those in rural and forest areas, but CO 2 saturation in urban rivers showed much larger variability than that in nonurban rivers (X. Wang et al., 2017).…”

Climate change mitigation and improvement of water quality from the restoration of a subtropical coastal wetland

“…9–10). Importantly, information on the development of soil denitrification as restoration progresses and, thus, the capacity of the restored wetland to improve water quality is limited (Comer‐Warner et al, 2022 , pp. 10–11).…”
