Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , but only contributes 15.6 % of the total stock. Since 1900 anthropogenic activities reduced natural wetlands area by 19.5 %, the annual SOC accumulation by 19.7 %, and stock by 4.8 %. At the present rate of SLR, the entire Southeast Saline Everglades will experience saltwater encroachment prior to 2100 and submergence by 2140.
