Short summary
Riverine wetlands of the south Pacific coast of Mexico had large ecosystem C stocks (784.5 MgC ha-1 for mangroves, 722.2 MgC ha-1 for peat swamps, and 336.5 MgC ha-1 for marshes). Long-term soil C sequestration values in mangroves were 1.3 ± 0.2 MgC ha-1yr-1. C stocks, and soil nitrogen stocks were in general larger for mangroves in the upper than in the lower estuary.
