Soil organic carbon contents and their major influencing factors in mangrove tidal flats: a comparison between estuarine and non-estuarine areas by Ting Wu, Jia Guo, Gang Li, Yu Jin, Wei Zhao, Guangxuan Lin, Fang-Li Luo, Yaojun Zhu, Yifei Jia, Li Wen

“…Abstract Background Unvegetated tidal flats of mangrove ecosystems in estuarine and non-estuarine areas play a crucial role in the coastal blue carbon sinks and biogeochemical cycle. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding of the differences in soil organic carbon (SOC) contents in mangrove tidal flats between estuarine and non-estuarine areas, as well as their influencing factors. …”
