Climate Change Impacts on Salt Marsh Blue Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorous Stocks and Ecosystem Services

Salt marshes are valuable ecosystems, as they provide food, shelter, and important nursery areas for fish macroinvertebrates, a wide variety of ecosystem services human populations. These heavily rely on the floristic composition salt with different species conferring service values adaptation resilience capacities towards stressors. Blue carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous stocks no exception to this, interspecific differences in primary production metabolism physiological traits. Furthermore, these intrinsic characteristics also modulate response any environmental stressor, such ones derived from ongoing global changes. This will shape transitional services, significant changes value terms cultural, provisioning, regulating, supporting special emphasis possible alterations blue retained key environments.
