Created mangrove wetlands store belowground carbon and surface elevation change enables them to adjust to sea-level rise

Abstract Mangrove wetlands provide ecosystem services for millions of people, most prominently by providing storm protection, food and fodder. Mangrove wetlands are also valuable ecosystems for promoting carbon (C) sequestration and storage. However, loss of mangrove wetlands and these ecosystem ser...
