Submarine groundwater discharge impacts on coastal nutrient biogeochemistry
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) links terrestrial and marine systems, but has often
been overlooked in coastal nutrient budgets because it is difficult to quantify. In this Review …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Global blue carbon accumulation in tidal wetlands increases with climate change
Coastal tidal wetlands produce and accumulate significant amounts of organic carbon (C)
that help to mitigate climate change. However, previous data limitations have prevented a …

The renaissance of Odum's outwelling hypothesis in'Blue Carbon'science
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 …

Carbon balance in salt marsh and mangrove ecosystems: A global synthesis
DM Alongi - Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 - mdpi.com
Mangroves and salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the global
coastal ocean. Mangroves store more carbon (739 Mg CORG ha− 1) than salt marshes (334 …
