Understanding Impacts of Sea Level Rise on Coastal Marshes Through Soil Carbon Dynamics in Louisiana CART Case Study Handout

High rates of sea-level rise threaten coastal marshes in Louisiana’s Mississippi River Delta Plain. Researchers modeled soil carbon dynamics in coastal marshes that are converting to open water to better understand how wetland loss and wetland conservation and restoration initiatives affect carbon sequestration.
