SOILSSEA levelCLIMATE changeDATA harmonizationGlobal distribution of salt-affected soils (SAS) has remained at about 1 billion hectares in the literature over the years despite changes in climate, sea levels, and land use patterns which influence the distribution. Lack of periodic update of input ...
Tidal marshes store large amounts of organic carbon in their soils. Field data quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks provide an important resource for researchers, natural resource managers, and policy-makers working towards the protection, restoration, and valuation of these ecosystems. We col...
Salt marshes provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration1, coastal protection2, sea-level-rise (SLR) adaptation3 and recreation4. SLR5, storm events6, drainage7 and mangrove encroachment8 are known drivers of salt marsh loss. However, the glo

If coastal wetlands accrete with sea level rise (and subsidence), then the NEP of wetlands is nonsteady state and there is constant annual netcarbon sequestration. Accelerated sea level rise will potentially ac...
where soil particles need support for a longer period. They are commonly used on steep slopes due to their high durability and strength. They are resistant to chemical substances and do not easily deteriorate when exposed to acid, alkaline agents, microbes, or salt solutions as they are non-...
Acid soils cover 3950 m ha, or one-third of the world’s ice-free territory. These soils are the product of either ustic or udic moisture regimes and are mostly found in two global regions. The northern belt (cold and moderate climate) is dominated by...
Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per area, leaf nitrogen content p
