TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a regional carbon budget for Eastern North America using historical data, empirical models, remote-sensing algorithms, and process-based models, showing that coastal carbon budgets should explicitly include tidal wetlands, estuaries, shelf waters and the linkages between them; ignoring any of them may produce a biased picture of coastal carbon cycling.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed empirical models relating NEP to loading ratios of dissolved inorganic nitrogen to total organic carbon, and carbon burial in the sediment to estuarine water residence time and total nitrogen input across the landward boundary.

TL;DR: A geodatabase (CoBluCarb) and high-resolution maps of soil organic carbon (SOC) distribution by linking National Wetlands Inventory data with the U.S. Soil Survey Geographic Database are developed to provide first-order quantification and to evaluate future changes in carbon stocks in response to environmental perturbations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed more than 25,000 measurements from the 1980s and 1990s in the major tidal tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay, a large, coastal-plain estuary of eastern North America.
