The global dataset includes time series observations from 23 mangrove tidal channels (Figure 1a). Two sites were located in North America (Reithmaier et al., 2020), five in Latin America (Cabral et al., 2024a; Cabral et al., 2024b; Call et al., 2019b; Ray et al., 2020), two in Africa (Bouillon et al., 2007), six in Asia (Borges et al., 2003; Call et al., 2019a; Linto et al., 2014; Reithmaier et al., 2023; Tomer et al., 2025), and eight in Australia (Cotovicz Jr et al., 2024; Santos et al., 2019; Sippo et al., 2016; Tomer et al., 2025). For inclusion in the analysis, we required temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), sampled at one-hour intervals (or more frequent) over at least 24 hours (Table S2). Loggers were deployed in tidal channels adjacent to mangrove forests. Instrument details and analytical accuracy are available in the original studies.Borges, A., et al.
