Analysis and Evidence Gaps around Carbon Accumulation in Restored Saltmarshes

DEFRA report ME5324

This is a collection of reports, authored in collaboration with Jacobs and the Environment Agency, in which we present:

  1. Sediment accumulation rates at 15 restored saltmarshes in England,
  2. Carbon accumulation rates at these 15 sites,
  3. Gaps in the scientific knowledge around saltmarsh restoration:
    • Habitat zones
    • Carbon stocks
    • Greenhouse gas fluxes
    • Effects of disturbance and land management
    • Countable carbon
