Tidal wetlands are recognized for their important role in carbon sequestration, as well as for their potential to become significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions when converted to other land uses. The substantial quantities of carbon captured and stored by tidal wetlands—termed “blue carbon”—is an ecosystem service of great interest to those developing regional, national, and global clim...

潮汐湿地因其对碳汇的重要作用而备受关注，同时，当其转变为其他土地利用方式时，亦有可能成为温室气体排放的重要来源。潮汐湿地所捕获并储存的大量碳素，即所谓的“蓝碳”，对于正在开发区域、国家和全球气候变化的各方而言，是一项极具价值的生态系统服务。
