Inland water carbon (C) sequestration rates play a potentially important role in the balance
between C supplies from the atmosphere and associated watersheds and the net demand of …

Threats to and loss of seagrass ecosystems globally, impact not only natural resources but
also the lives of people who directly or indirectly depend on these systems. Seagrass …

Blue carbon ecosystems contribute nearly 50% of the carbon accumulation in marine
sediments, despite occupying just 0.2% of the ocean surface (Chmura et al. 2003, McLeod …

“Blue carbon” ecosystems, which include tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and seagrass
meadows, have large stocks of organic carbon (Corg) in their soils. These carbon stocks are …

Seagrass meadows provide numerous ecosystem services and their rapid global loss may
reduce human welfare as well as ecological integrity. In common with the other 'blue …

Seagrasses are among the Earth's most efficient and long-term carbon sinks, but coastal
development threatens this capacity. We report new evidence that disturbance to seagrass …

Australia's tidal marshes have suffered significant losses but their recently recognised
importance in CO2 sequestration is creating opportunities for their protection and …

The sediments of coastal wetlands contain large stores of carbon which are vulnerable to
oxidation once disturbed, resulting in high levels of CO2 emissions that may be avoided if …

Seagrass meadows are natural carbon storage hotspots at risk from global change threats,
and their loss can result in the remineralization of soil carbon stocks and CO 2 emissions …

Seagrass ecosystems, considered among the most efficient carbon sinks worldwide,
encompass a wide variety of spatial configurations in the coastal landscape. Here we …
