Abstract: Mangrove wetlands play an important role in carbon sequestration and their conservation and restoration are recognized as an important solution for the climate change in coastal area. The success of mangrove wetland restoration depends on whether the environmental settings support the survival of mangrove seedlings. The mangrove species and the plantation mea-sures also determine the development of ecosystem structure and functions after restoration.In this paper, we overview the behaviors of carbon sequestration in the restored mangrove wetlands and also summarize how carbon sequestration varies with the environmental settings, mangrove species and plantation measures. Generally, hydrological condition, tidal elevation, soil texture, mangrove species, plantation density and seedling source will affect the processes of plant growth, the sedimentation of particle organic materials, the retention, exportation and decomposition of organic materials, and thus the capability of carbon sequestration. Therefore, in order to improve the effect of vegetation restoration and the ecological function of carbon sequestration of mangrove, the suitable land for ecological restoration, the right species and plantation measures should be selected.
