Seasonal metabolism and carbon export potential of a key coastal habitat: The perennial canopy‐forming macroalga Fucus vesiculosus
The important role of macroalgal canopies in the oceanic carbon (C) cycle is increasingly
being recognized, but direct assessments of community productivity remain scarce. We …

It's time to broaden what we consider a 'blue carbon ecosystem'
K James, PI Macreadie, HL Burdett… - Global Change …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Photoautotrophic marine ecosystems can lock up organic carbon in their biomass and the
associated organic sediments they trap over millennia and are thus regarded as blue carbon …
