It's time to broaden what we consider a 'blue carbon ecosystem'
K James, PI Macreadie, HL Burdett… - Global Change …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …
