There are known carbon ecosystems such as inland wetlands that are known as teal and coastal wetlands that are known as blue. These two carbon ecosystems are known as essential natural climate solutions and are long-term carbon sinks. Further, there are two potent greenhouse gases nitrous oxide and methane, which are complicating the benefits of blue and teal carbon wetlands. An essential global component of nitrogen and carbon cycles are inland and wetlands and vegetated coastal wetlands. The reason why wetlands are significant is because this natural element can preserve and store atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in sediments at densities and high rates for millennia and centuries. Blue carbon is the long-term storage of inorganic and organic carbon in coastal wetlands such as seagrasses, mangroves and tidal marshes. While teal carbon is where carbon is stored in inland wetlands such as swamps, marshes and ponds. The article mentions that it is important to understand methane and nitrous oxide carbon sink and emissions dynamics but the datasets need to be improved.  The data also needs to be compiled in global datasets.
