The future of Blue Carbon science [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon sequestration.

What is blue carbon?

EDIS
Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses, store large amounts of carbon in plant biomass and underlying sediments, known as blue carbon.

Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon (Blue Carbon – BC) and support coastal protection, biodiversity and water quality.

Blue carbon can't wait [PDF]

Science, 2021
When the United Nations released its World Ocean Assessment in 2015, it was clear that the oceans were seriously degraded, with stressors on these environments projected to increase. The 2021 Assessment, released in April, shows that they have further declined, bringing us ever closer to losing the structure, function, and benefits of Earth's marine ...

Restoring blue carbon ecosystems. [PDF]

Camb Prism Coast Futur
Abstract Mangroves, tidal marshes and seagrasses have experienced extensive historical reduction in extent due to direct and indirect effects of anthropogenic land use change. Habitat loss has contributed carbon emissions and led to foregone opportunities for carbon sequestration, which are disproportionately large due to high ‘blue ...

Role of carbonate burial in Blue Carbon budgets [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
AbstractCalcium carbonates (CaCO3) often accumulate in mangrove and seagrass sediments. As CaCO3 production emits CO2, there is concern that this may partially offset the role of Blue Carbon ecosystems as CO2 sinks through the burial of organic carbon (Corg).

A research blueprint: plant trait responses to stress and effects on blue carbon storage potential

, 2023
Wetland plants form blue carbon ecosystems, which are key for climate change mitigation yet threatened by multiple local and global stresses. The capacity of blue carbon ecosystems to store large amounts of carbon relies on ecological processes, many of ...

Operationalizing marketable blue carbon [PDF]

, 2022
The global carbon sequestration and avoided emissions potentially achieved via blue carbon is high (∼3% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions); however, it is limited by multidisciplinary and interacting uncertainties spanning the social, governance,

The Growing Potential of Antarctic Blue Carbon [PDF]

, 2023
The removal of carbon from the atmosphere for a long period (sequestration) is an increasingly pressing societal need in order to mitigate the negative effects of climate change.

Dual indicators link geochemistry to microbiota in blue carbon soils

, 2023
In blue carbon ecosystems, biomarkers and indicators have been developed to assess soil biogeochemical processes and history. In this study, we investigate blue carbon soils to determine if geochemical characteristics can predict soil microbial ...
