Abstract
In a recently published study, we described a wetland restored on unproductive sugarcane land in Queensland, Australia. After successful restoration, the wetland was found to be removing atmospheric carbon dioxide at a rate of ~18.5 Mg CO2-eq·ha−1·year−1. The restored coastal wetland provided water quality improvement service through N removal of up to 50.4 mg·m−2·day−1. Marginal or unproductive agricultural lands could be restored to coastal wetlands for climate change mitigation.
