Blue carbon under heatwave: how vegetation governs greenhouse gas exchange in coastal wetlands under extreme heat

Role

Principal Investigator

Description

Coastal wetlands store globally significant 'blue carbon', yet their response to intensifying heatwaves is poorly understood. The work develops a mechanistic understanding of how warming reshapes coastal wetland carbon function, informing blue carbon accounting, conservation, and Australia's climate commitments.
