Australian vegetated coastal ecosystems as global hotspots for climate change mitigation

Data on C stocks and sequestration rates in Australian tidal marshes, mangrove forests and seagrass meadows were compiled from published data. In addition, unpublished studies from the CSIRO Marine and Coastal Carbon Biogeochemistry Cluster project and other studies by the co-authors were included. Data from 1,553 study sites (593 from tidal marshes, 323 from mangrove forests and 637 from seagrass meadows) on soil C stocks (1,103 cores in total), soil C sequestration rates (352 cores in total) and standing C stocks in aboveground biomass (98 measurements in total) were used in this study. Detailed methods are provided in the manuscript linked to this dataset.本研究从已发表文献中汇编了澳大利亚潮汐盐沼（tidal marshes）、红树林（mangrove forests）与海草床（seagrass meadows）的碳储量（C stocks）及碳固存速率（carbon sequestration rates）相关数据。此外，本研究还纳入了澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究组织（CSIRO）海洋与海岸碳生物地球化学集群项目的未发表研究数据，以及共同作者的其他相关研究。本研究共使用1553个研究样地的相关数据，其中潮汐盐沼样地593个、红树林样地323个、海草床样地637个，涉及土壤碳储量（soil C stocks，总计1103根沉积物岩芯（cores））、土壤碳固存速率（soil C sequestration rates，总计352根沉积物岩芯）以及地上生物量现存碳储量（standing C stocks in aboveground biomass，总计98组测量数据）。本数据集配套的研究手稿中详细记载了具体研究方法。
