Carbon stocks in vegetation and soil and their relationship with plant community traits in a Mediterranean non-tidal salt marsh

Salt marshes are considered among the ecosystems with the highest capacity for carbon sequestration. However, studies have mainly focused on tidal salt marshes, while knowledge about non-tidal salt marshes, which prevail in the Mediterranean Basin, is currently scarce. Consequently, we aimed to 1) e...

However, studies have mainly focused on tidal salt marshes, while knowledge about non-tidal salt marshes, which prevail in the Mediterranean Basin, is currently scarce. Consequently, we aimed to 1) estimate the carbon stocks of the vegetation, litter, and soil of three natural Habitats of Community Interest of a Mediterranean non-tidal salt marsh: an halophilous scrub, a salt meadow and a glasswort sward; and 2) determine how differences in floristic composition and community structure among habitats over one year are related to the amount and distribution of carbon stored in plants and soils. Results show that the halophilous scrub and the salt meadow were constituted by mature plant communities with overall stable carbon stocks in the vegetation, litter and soil (0-20 cm), which were approximately 4 and 2.5 times larger, respectively, than those found in the glasswort sward (1013 ± 40g C m-2). However, while the salt meadow and the glasswort sward had more carbon stored in the soil than in the vegetation (approximately 3 and 7.5 times more, respectively), the halophilous scrub had similar amounts in both compartments (2248 ± 388 and 1566 ± 179 g C m-2 in the soil and vegetation, respectively). Sarcocornia fruticosa represented 93.5% of the total plant biomass of the halophilous scrub, which highlights the importance of this species in maintaining carbon stocks in this Mediterranean non-tidal salt marshThis work was supported by the Life+ Program of the European Commission [Life Pletera; LIFE13NAT/ES/ 001001].
