Salt marshes play a critical yet poorly quantified role as efficient blue-carbon sinks due to methodological limitations in assessing their complex carbon dynamics. This review synthesizes mechanisms and drivers of saltmarsh carbon sequestration, emphasizing the synergy between biogeomorphic engineering and microbial–geochemical feedbacks that enable long-term carbon stabilization.
