Global blue carbon losses from salt marshes exceed restoration gains

This repository contains the main code used to generate the figures and results presented in the manuscript.<b>Code structure:</b><code>Global_Salt_Marsh_Areas/</code>: R scripts for analyzing global salt marsh extent and producing <b>Figure 1</b>.<code>Global_SOC_Dynamics/</code>: R scripts for estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) changes and generating <b>Figure 2</b>.<code>Land_Use_and_Land_Cover_Changes/</code>: Python scripts for analyzing land use/land cover transitions and generating <b>Figure 3</b>.<b>Additional tools:</b>Land use classification was performed using the <b>Google Earth Engine</b> online platform. The relevant script is accessible at:<br>https://code.earthengine.google.com/bb4c1b581957e1be8fef79b08ccb1e9e
