Offsetting blue carbon benefits: Mangrove tree stems identified as previously underestimated methane source

Mangrove ecosystems rank among the most efficient “blue carbon” systems on Earth, capable of absorbing and storing vast quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). However, mangroves also release methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, potentially offsetting a portion of their climate mitigation benefits.
