Harnessing nature's buffer: Assessing the role of bivalve shells in coastal alkalinity regeneration

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Bivalve shells, a natural alkaline material, play a crucial role in coastal carbon cycles by influencing total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). This study investigated oyster shell dissolution in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, under varying pCO2 conditions, revealing TA regeneration rates of 4–56 μmol L−1 d−1, which could

Production and fate of macroalgal carbon in the ocean: How much do macroalgal organics matter?

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Global carbon sequestration by macroalgae is hypothesized to rival rates in other blue carbon ecosystems. However, quantifying macroalgal carbon sequestration is challenging as it is hypothesized to occur outside macroalgal ecosystems, with 73% of sequestration occurring when dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is exported to deep ocean waters.

Boat wakes enhance oyster reef mortality in a short‐fetch estuary

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Oyster reefs are vital to estuarine ecosystems, providing key services such as water filtration and shoreline stabilization. However, they are increasingly threatened by human activities, particularly boat wakes. This study investigates the relative impacts of boat wakes and wind waves on reef mortality in the Guana‐Tolomato‐Matanzas estuary ...
