Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs; ie, mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses) play a
critical role in global carbon (C) cycling, storing 10× more C than temperate forests. Methane …

Atmospheric methane is a potent greenhouse gas that plays a major role in controlling the
Earth's climate. The causes of the renewed increase of methane concentration since 2007 …

The role of coastal wetlands as natural 'blue carbon'sinks may be counter‐acted by
emissions of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Site‐specific fluxes of these two …

Marine coastlines colonized by seagrasses are a net source of methane to the atmosphere.
However, methane emissions from these environments are still poorly constrained, and the …

Methane (CH4) from aquatic ecosystems contributes to about half of total global CH4
emissions to the atmosphere. Until recently, aquatic biogenic CH4 production was …

Awarding CO2 offset credits may incentivize seagrass restoration projects and help reverse
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from global seagrass loss. However, no study has …

Seagrass ecosystems are important carbon dioxide sinks that can sequester carbon for
centuries as organic matter in sediment. They are also a major source of methane, a potent …

Seagrasses have some of the highest rates of carbon burial on the planet and have
therefore been highlighted as ecosystems for nature-based climate change mitigation …

Measurements of isotopic composition of marine primary producers are a valuable tool to
follow and trace the source and cycling of organic matter in the marine systems, as well to …
