Mangroves provide blue carbon ecological value at a low freshwater cost

Abstract “Blue carbon” wetland vegetation has a limited freshwater requirement. One type, mangroves, utilizes less freshwater during transpiration than adjacent terrestrial ecoregions, equating to only 43% (average) to 57% (potential) of evapotranspiration ( $$ET$$ ET ). Here, we demonstrate that co...
