Spivak, Jonathan Sanderman, Jennifer L. Bowen, Elizabeth A. Canuel & Charles S. Hopkinson doi:10.1038/s41561-019-0435-2 Coastal vegetated ecosystems have experienced rapid changes in climate and environmental conditions. These changes have caused disturbances to the amount of carbon they store in soils by altering the decomposition process of organic carbon.
