Expert opinions regarding the concept of blue carbon in seaweed systems
Phycological Research, EarlyView.SUMMARY A collection of expert opinions critically evaluates the role of seaweed in blue carbon strategies for climate change mitigation. While the concept of fast‐growing seaweed to capture atmospheric carbon is appealing, the experts largely agree that its potential for direct, long‐term carbon sequestration is currently overstated and faces ...

Conceptualizing and contextualizing “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Current restoration efforts are lagging behind the extent and pace of environmental degradation. This emphasizes the need and urgency to scale up ecological restoration. This study sought to understand the context of “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration, that is, what it means, entails, where, and how it is implemented by ...
