Abstract The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the
disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon …

Coastal seagrass, mangrove and salt-marsh ecosystems—also termed blue-carbon
ecosystems—play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Much of the organic carbon …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time
