Table 2 Mean carbon storage in tidal flat soils to 1-m depth, mean (5th to 95th percentile). This is done by Monte Carlo simulation from values in literature
Study site | C storage per unit area (kg m−2) | C storage in soil (Gg) | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
Pristine Mud Flat | 28.6 (7.8–47.9) | 800.3 (217.1–1341.8) | Conserved area |
Impacted Mud Flat 1 | 18.2 (7.3–34.9) | 4431.5 (1768.3–8508.7) | Natural area |
Impacted Mud Flat 2 | 13.9 (4.8–27.2) | 1141.6 (394.7–2224.1) | Natural area |
