Global-change effects on early-stage decomposition processes in tidal wetlands – implications from a global survey using standardized litter
(Copernicus Publications, 2018-05-30)
Tidal wetlands, such as tidal marshes and mangroves, are hotspots for carbon sequestration. The preservation of organic matter (OM) is a critical process by which tidal wetlands exert influence over the ...
