abstract：:Organic matter burial in mangrove forests results in the removal and long-term storage of atmospheric CO2, so-called "blue carbon." However, some of this organic matter is metabolized and returned to the atmosphere as CH4. Because CH4 has a higher global warming potential than the CO2 fixed in the organic matter, it c...
