They prevent soil erosion only.
Which factor contributes to the effectiveness of salt marshes in sequestering carbon?
High levels of biodiversity.
Low tidal range.
Wetland soils that are anaerobic.
Frequent flooding events.
How does vegetation in salt marshes directly impact carbon storage?
By increasing sunlight penetration to the soil.
By capturing carbon during the growth process.
By reducing soil temperature.
By promoting sediment drying.
