Carbon Cycles in Huang-Bohai Sea Wetlands

HBS project will examine the carbon cycling process in wetlands across the various delta types along the Huang-Bohai Sea, including the Yellow River Delta (river-dominant), Liaohe River Delta (tidal-dominant), Luanhe River Delta (wave dominant), and Yancheng River Delta (influenced by a combination of factors) and its controlling factors.

The goal of the project is to use interdisciplinary partnerships to develop a multidimensional carbon budget evaluation model for coastal wetlands.

This model will help guide carbon-negative emission practices in blue carbon ecosystems globally, with potential applications in deltas such as the Mississippi (river-dominant), Danube (river-dominant), Ebro (wave-dominant), and Fly River (tidal-dominant) deltas.
