A synthesis of soil carbon and nitrogen recovery after wetland restoration and creation in the United States

Abstract Wetland restoration and creation efforts have been widely attempted as a way to compensate for wetland losses and to recover wetland functions; however, to date, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content recovery at a regional sca...
