The Elnashar et al data at 1km is a great resource (links in comments). Monthly 1981 to 2019. Below I have aggregated to 1982-2010 and resampled for near compatibility with the CHELSA (1981-2010) baseline climate. Happy to share.

Global mangrove soil organic carbon stocks dataset at 30 m. Maxwell& (2023) (doi.org/10.1016/j.di...)
Note that Zhang& (doi.org/10.1038/s414...) show that only 49-62% of this carbon can be attributed to mangroves
