The sediment-water interface in the coastal ocean is a highly dynamic zone controlling
biogeochemical fluxes of greenhouse gases, nutrients, and metals. Processes in the …

The global extent of coasts is huge and it has a massive impact on the planetary C balance.
Coasts are again very heterogeneous with their soils and sediments possessing varying C …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

Blue carbon (BC) ecosystems provide important and multiple ecosystem services, including
climate change mitigation through carbon storage. However, these ecosystems are under …

There is increasing urgency to implement climate change mitigation strategies that enhance
greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions …

Seagrasses are highly productive ecosystems and hotspots for biodiversity, providing a
plethora of benefits to the environment and to people. Their value in sequestering and …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems such as saltmarshes and seagrasses are important sinks of
organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN), with large global and local variability, driven by …

Seagrass meadows have a disproportionally high organic carbon (Corg) storage potential
within their sediments and thus can play a role in climate change mitigation via their …

Non‐seagrass sources account for∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many
seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into …

Seagrass habitats provide important ecosystem services, including their ability to take up
and store substantial amounts of organic carbon, known as 'blue carbon.'However, the …
