Year Published: 2020 Increasing rates of carbon burial in southwest Florida coastal wetlands Rates of organic carbon (OC) burial in some coastal wetlands appear to be greater in recent years than they were in the past. Possible explanations include ongoing mineralization of older OC or the influence of an unaccounted‐for artefact of the methods used to measure burial rates. Alternatively, the trend may represent real acceleration in OC...

However, the magnitude and duration of porewater salinity in exceedance of plant salinity stress threshold (2 practical...
