Rising seas could drown mangroves and release vast stores of carbon
Mangroves are famous for trapping vast amounts of carbon, helping slow climate change. However, a new study suggests rising sea levels could eventually reduce that benefit across entire forests. As flooding becomes too extreme, mangroves may die off and their carbon-rich soils could erode, potentially turning these coastal ecosystems from carbon sinks into carbon sources.

Why Mangroves Are On The Frontline In The Fight Against Climate Change
A new study claims sea-level rises will initially trigger more carbon accumulation in some mangrove locations, but will reduce carbon storage in the forests over the long term.

Rising seas could ‘drown’ mangroves and release carbon
Mangroves could store less carbon – and even begin releasing it – as sea levels rise, new research suggests.
