New paper in @plos.org Sus Trans: mangrove restoration increases C storage, but where that C comes from is different... likely because restored mangroves have altered ecological functioning. And old-forests are stable C stores journals.plos.org/sustainabili... 🦑🧪🌎 @umeaunimarine.bsky.social

🚨New paper out!! Restore #mangroves to capture carbon? Yes!🌱 100% positive? Maybe. Study shows that restored mangroves may not regain the ‘normal’ function of older forests. 🧪🦑🌊 Read more here: www.umu.se/en/news/land... #BlueCarbon @umeauniversitet.bsky.social @plos.org @hlburdett.bsky.social
