Short summary
The recovery of saltmarsh ecosystems after restoration is poorly understood. We studied saltmarsh soils in Victoria, Australia, 25 years after fencing was installed to exclude livestock. Fenced and natural areas had more plant cover, softer soils and more organic carbon in the surface soils than grazed areas. Our results show that assessing restoration outcomes should go beyond measuring carbon stocks alone.
