Coastal wetlands are global hotspots of carbon storage. The future sink strength and carbon stock stability of these systems is uncertain because global change drivers such as temperature and elevated CO2 perturb the complex biotic and abiotic feedbacks that drive high rates of soil carbon sequestration. Despite the leverage these ecosystems exert over the global carbon cycle, the dynamics of coastal wetland carbon pools are not presently represented in Earth system models.
