Anthropocene Coasts, an open access journal, publishes multidisciplinary research that aims to understand and predict the effects of human activities, including climate change, on estuarine and coastal regions. Anthropocene Coasts publishes original research articles, reviews (and overviews), topical communications, letters and book reviews. The page charges are covered by East China Normal University. Anthropocene Coasts is presently abstracted and indexed in international authoritative databases including Scopus, and ESCI.

Anthropocene Coasts’ CiteScore 2022 is 4.9 and has entered the CiteScoreTM rank 2022 of Q1 academic journals. Both the 2022 Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and the Journal Impact Factor Without Self Citations of Anthropocene Coasts are 2.4.

Focus of this Special Collection:

(Short description text, to be displayed on thematic series collection page)

Coastal marshes, mangroves, and seagrass sequester significant amounts of “blue carbon” in soils, sediments, and biomass. Complex interactions of climate change, land use, sea level rise, nitrogen pollution, and management regulate the strength of the carbon sinks and the greenhouse gas balance (including CO2, CH4, and N2O). Own to the contribution of Jianwu Tang, we have systematically expounded on the types and key processes of the coastal blue carbon ecosystems，and predicted the future development trends of coastal blue carbon under climate change scenarios. However, our ability to measure and simulate the vertical and lateral exchanges of coastal carbon and nitrogen at the land-ocean interface is still limited. The intensified functions of blue carbon ecosystems by conservation and restoration to mitigate climate change have only recently been recognized. Here, we aim to invite biogeochemists, wetland ecologists, earth system modelers, ecological engineers and managers to discuss coastal carbon, carbon and nitrogen pools and fluxes, and their roles in global biogeochemical cycling and climate change mitigation. We also aim to report recent advances in field investigations, remote sensing, modeling, and synthesis that support carbon accounting in coastal wetland ecosystems.

The submissions should address any of the following aspect.

(Please give a short list of topics of interest)

The Special Collection welcomes original articles, reviews, systematic reviews, perspectives, and commentaries on the following topics:

  • The novel methods of blue carbon measurements and modeling to support carbon accounting
  • Complex interactions of climate change and human activities on blue carbon
  • The relationships between blue carbon and other ecosystem functions
