Carbon capture, preservation, and flux are foundational processes that govern all facets of wetland ecosystem function, and are thus both the target of, and a response to, management activity. Wetland management and disturbance intentionally or unintentionally affect the biogeochemical mechanisms that preserve organic matter, with consequences for coupled element cycles such as nitrogen mineralization. Here we consider how biogeochemical processes can be manipulated to increase carbon preservation, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, or improve water quality. Our goal is to highlight some common management actions rather than provide a thorough overview of this topic; we leave that to the collective efforts of the other authors in this volume.
