Figure 2. Estimated total organic carbon stored in Australian tidal marsh expressed in Gigagrams (Gg OC, mean ± standard error).

State-specific tidal marsh areas were obtained from the literature (Table 1). Values shown here have been square root transformed for optimal visual comparisons. Due to a lack of carbon stock data in the Northern Territory and Tasmania, the mean of all other states combined were applied to their state-specific tidal marsh areas.
