Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), including mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal
marshes, store carbon and provide co-benefits such as coastal protection and fisheries …

Blue carbon provides opportunities to mitigate climate change while increasing ecosystem
services for coastal communities, including climate change adaptation; however, blue …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Aim Macroalgal habitats are believed to be the most extensive and productive of all coastal
vegetated ecosystems. In stark contrast to the growing attention on their contribution to …

Globally, collapse of ecosystems—potentially irreversible change to ecosystem structure,
composition and function—imperils biodiversity, human health and well‐being. We examine …

Abstract The term 'Blue Carbon'was coined about a decade ago to highlight the important
carbon sequestration capacity of coastal vegetated ecosystems. The term has paved the …

Mangroves have among the highest carbon densities of any tropical forest. These 'blue
carbon'ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon for long periods, and their protection …

Seagrasses are important marine ecosystems situated throughout the world's coastlines.
They are facing declines around the world due to global and local threats such as rising …

Recognition of the potential for vegetated coastal ecosystems to store and sequester carbon
has led to their increasing inclusion into global carbon budgets and carbon offset schemes …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) in coastal wetlands, also known as “blue C,” is an essential
component of the global C cycles. To gain a detailed insight into blue C storage and …
