Overview
Freshwater and low salinity forested wetlands occur in tidal reaches of rivers around the world. Often overlooked, they provide model blue carbon habitat but are distinguishable from many coastal wetland environments in that they are often along landscape positions for which management improvements can be applied. Here, for the first time in the scientific literature, tidally influenced forested wetlands of the upper estuary will be highlighted as a distinct ecosystem through accounts of their occurrence, societal value, and ecological and biogeochemical processes, characteristics that make carbon storage and sequestration rates from these tidal wetlands as high as any ecosystem in the world. The majority of freshwater and low salinity forested wetland studies have come from the United States; this special issue will expand on those accounts and provide for additional reporting from a more complete representation of their global distribution. We welcome any type of submission that enhances our understanding of these transitional ecosystems and adjacent wetlands and waters, and that could form a nexus for future ecosystem science advancement. We are particularly interested in submissions that incorporate insight on methane dynamics, carbon biogeochemistry, management application, and cultural and native community engagement.
