Blue carbon in coastal landscapes: a spatial framework for assessment of stocks and additionality
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Sustainability Science"
DOI: 10.1007/s11625-018-0575-0
Abstract: Efforts to incorporate blue carbon, the carbon associated with marine ecosystems, into carbon accounting and carbon markets are increasing. To fully leverage the capacity of marine ecosystems to sequester carbon requires information to guide prioritisation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2021.107361
Abstract: Abstract The term ‘Blue Carbon’ was coined about a decade ago to highlight the important carbon sequestration capacity of coastal vegetated ecosystems. The term has paved the way for the development of programs and policies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2018.01.059
Abstract: Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, yet they are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Because of their role as carbon sinks, protection and restoration of seagrass meadows contribute to climate change mitigation. Blue… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c03720
Abstract: Intensive macroalgal blooms, a source of labile organic carbon (LOC) induced by coastal nutrient loading in some seagrass ecosystems, create ideal conditions for enhanced recalcitrant organic carbon (ROC) loss via the cometabolism effect. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c07289
Abstract: Microplastics were recently found to aggregate in the blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), which are known for their ability to store carbon by slowing down the water flow. However, evidence is largely lacking on how the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.3c00012
Abstract: Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) including mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrasses are highly efficient for organic carbon (OC) accumulation due to their unique ability to trap high rates of allochthonous substrates. It has been suggested that the… read more here.
