Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), including mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal
marshes, store carbon and provide co-benefits such as coastal protection and fisheries …

Marine foundation species are the biotic basis for many of the world's coastal ecosystems,
providing structural habitat, food, and protection for myriad plants and animals as well as …

Seagrasses are valuable sources of food and habitat for marine life and are one of Earth's
most efficient carbon sinks. However, they are facing a global decline due to ocean warming …

Viable nature-based climate solutions (NbCS) are needed to achieve climate goals
expressed in international agreements like the Paris Accord. Many NbCS pathways have …

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 …

The ability of vegetated coastal ecosystems to sequester high rates of “blue” carbon over
millennial time scales has attracted the interest of national and international policy makers …

Understanding the immediate impacts of oil spills is essential to recognizing their long-term
consequences on the marine environment. In this study, we traced the early (within one …

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 …

Beach wrack of marine macrophytes is a natural component of many beaches. To test if such
wrack emits the potent greenhouse gas methane, field measurements were made at …

Seagrass ecosystems are globally-significant 'blue carbon'sinks; however, there is concern
that this capacity will decline if rising ocean temperatures accelerate microbial …
