Recommendations for strengthening blue carbon science

One Earth
Blue carbon (BC) habitats (e.g., mangroves, tidal marshes, and seagrasses) are important CO2 sinks but are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth. Substantial research over the last decade has quantified BC to evaluate the climate benefits associated with habitat conservation and restoration.

Human Gut Bacteria and Lipidic Nanoparticles: Particle Composition Predicts Structural Transformation and Bacterial Biocompatibility

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Lipidic nanoparticles (LNPs) were incubated with 21 gut bacteria frequently associated with the human microbiome. SAXS revealed that ∼75% of tested species induced structural transformations in monoolein LNPs, whereas phytantriol and phospholipid formulations remained unaffected.

Blue carbon sequestration potential in Zostera marina eelgrass beds of the K'omoks Estuary, British Columbia

, 2015
Greenhouse gases, as a significant cause of global climate change, are the highest in history. Coastal ecosystems are said to contribute to climate change mitigation by sequestering significant amounts of blue carbon.

Strain‐Programmable Luminescent Adhesive Patch With Tartrazine‐Mediated Optical Skin Clearing for Photochemical Tissue Bonding

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Dual Roles of Carbon Quantum Dots from Green Carbon Sources: A Fluorescence Sensor for Fe3+ Ions, UV and High-Energy Blue Light Screening

It is of great significance to develop carbon quantum dots (CQDs) using green carbon sources, which are cheap, non-toxic and harmless, and further expand their application scopes, e.g., fluorescence sensors, blue light screening.

Blue carbon: The value of carbon sequestration in kelp forests compared to traditional blue carbon ecosystems

, 2022
Since the term blue carbon was first coined in 2009, the interest in the carbon stocks and annual carbon sequestration of mangrove forests, salt marshes and seagrass meadows has increased noticeably.

Mechanical Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of MXene/PVDF Nanocomponsites: In Situ Characterization and Multiscale Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Multiscale experiments and modeling reveal how Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets reinforce PVDF nanocomposites. An optimal MXene loading (∼1 wt.%) nearly doubles tensile strength through efficient stress transfer, flake alignment, and crack‐deflection mechanisms, transforming ductile polymer behavior into a controlled multi‐stage fracture pathway which aligns ...

Drivers and policy insights for enhancing blue carbon cooperation mechanism between China and ASEAN countries

Frontiers in Marine Science
China and most of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries locate around the South China Sea (SCS), which is home to an abundance of blue carbon resources including mangroves, seagrasses, and saltmarshes.
