Short summary
Coastal plant habitats such as mangroves, seagrass meadows and saltmarshes store carbon. While these plants absorb carbon dioxide and trap carbon in sediments via their roots, we also discovered that carbon from algae is transported into these systems and preserved in the soil. By analyzing sugars from plants and algae, we show that restoring these ecosystems helps lock away both local and distant carbon, offering powerful benefits for climate and biodiversity.
