Abstract The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KM-GBF) provides a major
impetus for the restoration and conservation of blue carbon ecosystems to address the …

Recent research has highlighted the valuable role that coastal and marine ecosystems play
in sequestering carbon dioxide (CO2). The carbon (C) sequestered in vegetated coastal …

Seagrasses, flowering marine plants that form underwater meadows, play a significant
global role in supporting food security, mitigating climate change and supporting …

Seagrass ecosystems contain globally significant organic carbon (C) stocks. However,
climate change and increasing frequency of extreme events threaten their preservation …

Seagrasses, a functional group of marine flowering plants rooted in the world's coastal
oceans, support marine food webs and provide essential habitat for many coastal species …

The contribution of seagrasses to coastal protection is examined through the review of the
most relevant existing knowledge. Seagrasses are the largest submerged aquatic …

Submerged and emergent wetland plant communities are evaluated for their response to
global climate change (GCC), focusing on seagrasses, submerged freshwater plants, tidal …

Seagrass ecosystems are diminishing worldwide and repeated studies confirm a lack of
appreciation for the value of these systems. In order to highlight their value we provide the …

UK estuarine environments are regulated by inter-acting physical processes, including tidal,
wave, surge, river discharge and sediment supply. They regulate the fluxes of nutrients …

Temperature-induced mass coral bleaching causing mortality on a wide geographic scale
started when atmospheric CO2 levels exceeded∼ 320ppm. When CO2 levels reached∼ …
