Coastal estuaries are hotspots of biogeochemical cycling, biodiversity, and sediment processing, yet the drivers of carbon cycle processes remain poorly constrained. Here, we elucidate the influence of hydrological connectivity on carbon biogeochemistry in the Indian Sundarban over successive monsoon seasons by comparing hydrologically connected channels with perennial freshwater flow to channels isolated from feeding rivers....

9Forests represent a major global C sink, and forest management strategies that maximize carbon storage offer one avenue for mitigating increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. Our understanding of relationships between forest management, productivity, carbon storage, and stand age, however, is limited. We established research plots in a chronosequence of thinned and unmanaged red pine stands in northern Minneso...
