The study aims to understand how estuarine settings, restoration strategies, and soil depth affect soil organic carbon in mangroves.
Field investigation in Qinglan Harbor, southern China
Comparison of carbon fractions among various estuarine settings
Analysis of the influence of restoration strategies on carbon accumulation
Use of structural equation modeling to assess relationships between variables
Near-estuary sites had higher particulate organic carbon and mineral-associated organic carbon contents than far-estuary sites
Natural forests yielded significantly higher particulate organic carbon than both active and passive restoration sites
Soil depth did not affect SOC fractions significantly, but its interaction with estuarine setting influenced POC distribution
Environmental factors primarily influenced SOC indirectly through their effects on SOC fractions
