Mangroves provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling, soil formation, wood production, fish spawning grounds, ecotourism and carbon (C) storage¹. High rates of tree and plant growth, coupled with anaerobic, water-logged soils that slow decomposition, result in large long-term C storage. Given their global significance as large...

Tropical peatlands cover an estimated 440,000 km² (~10% of global peatland area) and are significant in the global
carbon cycle by storing about 40–90 Gt C in peat. Over the past several decades, tropical peatlands have experienced
high rates of deforestation and conversion, which is often associated with lowering the...
