Spatiotemporal variations of organic matter sources in two mangrove-fringed estuaries in Hainan, China

Abstract: <p>Mangrove systems represent important long-term sinks for carbon since they have much higher carbon burial rates than terrestrial forests or typical coastal ecosystem. However, quantifying the sources of organic matter (OM) in estuarine and coastal sediments, where mangroves occur but are not the only source of OM, is challenging due to the variety of OM sources and diverse transport processes in these dynamic environments. The sources of OM in surface sediments of two mangrove-fringed estuarie… Show more

“…Mangroves can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and convert it into organic matter, facilitating the accumulation of SOC. Moreover, mangroves are typically located in estuarine areas where terrestrial organic matter input, such as suspended solids and plant debris carried by rivers, enriches the surface SOC content [62]. In contrast, salt marshes have lower productivity than mangroves and are often located in tidal plains or estuaries, where surface soils are mainly influenced by seawater input.…”
