Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal saltmarshes are vegetated coastal
ecosystems that accumulate and store large quantities of carbon in their sediments. Many …

The impacts of ocean deoxygenation on biodiversity and ecosystem function are well
established in temperate regions, and here we illustrate how the study of hypoxia in tropical …

As interest in natural climate mitigation solutions continues to grow, there is an essential role
for coastal and ocean ecosystems (“blue carbon”) to play. To meet mitigation targets …

Mangroves have the capacity to sequester organic carbon (Corg) in their sediments
permanently. However, the carbon budget of mangroves is also affected by the total …

Seagrass ecosystems have received a great deal of attention for contributing to uptake of
atmospheric CO 2, and thereby helping to mitigate global climate change ('blue carbon') …

Changes in photosynthetic and respiration rates in coastal marine habitats cause
considerable variability in ecosystem metabolism on timescales ranging from diel to tidal to …

Coastal vegetated habitats like seagrass meadows can mitigate anthropogenic carbon
emissions by sequestering CO2 as “blue carbon”(BC). Already, some coastal ecosystems …

Due to large losses of seagrass meadows worldwide, restoration is proposed as a key
strategy for increasing coastal resilience and recovery. The emergence of a seagrass …

Subtropical seagrass meadows play a major role in the coastal carbon cycle, but the nature
of air–water CO2 exchanges over these ecosystems is still poorly understood. The complex …

Coastal acidification in southeastern US estuaries and coastal waters is influenced by
biological activity, run-off from the land, and increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere …
