This book provides a holistic treatment of carbon mineralization, from the contributions of litter/root decomposition pathways to carbon mineralization and the processes and sources of greenhouse gas production. This book compares carbon mineralization in coastal wetlands and highlights differences in carbon dynamics. As studies on blue carbon have strongly emphasized the storage potential of coastal wetlands, this book serves as an ideal resource on the topics discussed.
- Provides comprehensive perspectives on the processes and mechanisms of carbon mineralization in coastal wetlands
- Identifies factors regulating organic matter decomposition and greenhouse gas emission
- Clarifies the linkage between litter decomposition and greenhouse gas emission
- Unravels how greenhouse gas emissions are modified by anthropogenic activities, including eutrophication and deforestation
Researchers who study coastal wetlands, and decision-makers on coastal ecosystems. Modelers, field investigators and people of a wide range of interests in the carbon dynamics of coastal ecosystems
