Tidal marshes, mangrove swamps and seagrass meadows are unique ecosystems found on coastlines worldwide. These wetlands support specialized plant, microbe and animal species that collectively form some of the Earth's most productive ecosystems, influencing the ecology of estuaries and coastal oceans. Coastal wetlands are also under severe pressure from human activity which threatens to diminish the many benefits they provide to people and aquatic food webs. Among these benefits is the fact that they remove large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and bury it in soils for centuries to millennia. Indeed, these ecosystems account for nearly 50 percent of the organic carbon buried in sediments despite occupying less than 2 percent of terrestrial area. This surprising fact suggests an opportunity: that protecting, restoring and managing coastal ecosystems could improve the ecological and social benefits they provide. The pace of research on this topic has accelerated and there is a great need to coordinate ongoing research and synthesize existing information. The goal of this Research Coordination Network (RCN) project is to advance understanding of carbon cycling in coastal wetlands by creating a central repository for sharing data, and facilitating synthesis and modeling to better predict the functioning of coastal ecosystems. The Coastal Wetland Carbon Research Coordination Network will accelerate scientific discovery, advance science-informed policy, and improve coastal ecosystem management by: (1) developing a community dedicated to coastal wetland carbon science for basic research, policy development, and management, (2) exploring the ecological links among coastal wetlands, estuaries, and the atmosphere, and (3) sharing data and analysis tools that support the diverse needs of scientists, policy makers and managers. Activity 1 will establish a repository for participant-contributed data, and a central portal for downloading data from repositories of interest to the coastal carbon community. Activity 2 will create a Coastal Wetland Carbon website to attract participation of diverse users by providing a variety of resources that meet their needs. It will provide data analysis tools, a knowledge sharing resource, a video library of training modules in standard methods, a code library to support modeling, links to publications, and a webinar library. This RCN project will also provide outreach via a series of webinars and town hall gatherings at professional meetings, host a series of workshops on scientific gaps in coastal carbon, and develop a web-based tool for modeling.

潮汐沼泽、红树林沼泽和海草草甸是世界各地海岸线上发现的独特生态系统。这些湿地支持专门的植物，微生物和动物物种，共同构成地球上最具生产力的生态系统，影响河口和沿海海洋的生态。沿海湿地也受到人类活动的严重压力，这可能会减少它们为人类和水生食物网提供的许多好处。这些好处之一是，它们从大气中去除了大量的二氧化碳，并将其埋在土壤中数百年至数千年。事实上，这些生态系统占沉积物中有机碳的近50%，尽管它们只占陆地面积的不到2%。这一令人惊讶的事实表明了一个机会：保护、恢复和管理沿海生态系统可以改善它们提供的生态和社会效益。关于这一专题的研究步伐已经加快，非常需要协调正在进行的研究并综合现有信息。该研究协调网络（RCN）项目的目标是通过创建一个用于共享数据的中央存储库，促进综合和建模，以更好地预测沿海生态系统的功能，从而加深对沿海湿地碳循环的了解。沿海湿地碳研究协调网络将通过以下方式加速科学发现，推进科学知情政策，并改善沿海生态系统管理：（1）发展一个致力于沿海湿地碳科学的社区，用于基础研究、政策制定和管理，（2）探索沿海湿地、河口和大气之间的生态联系，（3）分享数据和分析工具，以支持科学家、决策者和管理人员的不同需求。活动1将建立一个与会者提供的数据库，以及一个中央门户网站，供沿海碳社区从感兴趣的数据库下载数据。活动2将创建一个沿海湿地碳网站，通过提供满足不同用户需求的各种资源吸引他们的参与。它将提供数据分析工具、知识共享资源、标准方法培训模块视频库、支持建模的代码库、出版物链接和网络研讨会库。该RCN项目还将通过一系列网络研讨会和专业会议上的市政厅聚会提供外展服务，举办一系列关于沿海碳科学差距的研讨会，并开发基于网络的建模工具。
