  abstract = {{D}espite their ability to mitigate climate change by efficiently absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide ({CO}2) and acting as natural long-term carbon sinks, mangrove ecosystems have faced several anthropogenic threats over the past century, resulting in a decline in the global mangrove cover. {B}y using standardized methods and the most recent {B}ayesian tracer mixing models {M}ix{SIAR}, this study aimed to quantify source contributions, burial rates, and stocks of organic carbon ({C}-org) and explore their temporal changes (similar to 100 years) in seven lead-210 dated sediment cores collected from three contrasting {M}exican mangrove areas. {T}he spatial variation in {C}-org burial rates and stocks in these blue carbon ecosystems primarily depended on the influence of local rivers, which controlled {C}-org sources and fluxes within the mangrove areas. {T}he {C}-org burial rates in the cores ranged from 66 +/- 16 to 400 +/- 40 g m(-2) yr(-1). {T}he {C}-org stocks ranged from 84.9 +/- 0.7 to 255 +/- 2 {M}g ha(-1) at 50 cm depth and from 137 +/- 2 to 241 +/- 4 {M}g ha(-1) at 1 m depth. {T}he highest {C}-org burial rates and stocks were observed in cores from the carbonate platform of {Y}ucatan and in cores with reduced river influence and high mangrove detritus inputs, in contrast to patterns identified from global databases. {O}ver the past century, the rising trends in {C}-org burial rates and stocks in the study sites were primarily driven by enhanced inputs of fluvial-derived {C}-org and, in some cores, mangrove-derived {C}-org. {D}espite their decreasing extension, mangrove areas remained highly effective producers and sinks of {C}-org. {O}ngoing efforts to enhance the global database should continue, including mangrove area characteristics and reliable timescales to facilitate cross-comparison among studies.},
