Mangrove restoration Dataset

Overview</h4><p dir="ltr">This repository contains the comprehensive empirical datasets supporting the manuscript <b>"Mangrove restoration reactivates subterranean carbon-alkalinity pump to enhance coastal carbon buffering"</b> </p><p dir="ltr">The dataset provides multi-disciplinary evidence across paired restored mangrove and bare mudflat settings, integrating long-term in situ hydrodynamic monitoring, groundwater hydrochemistry, optical spectroscopy of dissolved organic matter (DOM), and sediment functional metagenomics.</p><h4 dir="ltr">2.
