The maintenance of soil surface elevation in mangroves supports the persistence of mangroves with sea level rise. The processes contributing to soil surface elevation have rarely been assessed in the humid tropics, despite most mangroves occurring in river deltas and tidal estuaries within this climate zone. Using surface elevation table (SET) with marker horizon methods over sites that occurred on either the main river channe...

Globally, there is little information on freshwater (non‐tidal) wetland below ground soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, sequestration rates and, in particular, their within‐wetland variation. This basic information is critical for designing programs to sample SOC stocks and identifying areas that sequester large amounts of carbon so that they can be managed to prevent degradation and carbon loss. Here, focusing on temperate sea...
