- abstract
- From a climate change perspective, one of the most important ecosystem services that wetlands provide is carbon sequestration, a regulating service that helps moderate the impact of increased anthropogenic and natural emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2 and CH4. Carbon dynamics in wetlands are influenced by processes that promote the accumulation of carbon in sinks and those that govern the release of carbon (e.g. act as carbon sources). The research described here evaluates the role of vegetation in carbon source/sink dynamics in a restored coastal freshwater forested wetland.
