Subtidal marine sediments are one of the planet's primary carbon stores and strongly influence the oceanic sink for atmospheric CO2. By far the most widespread human activity …
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …
Abstract The term 'Blue Economy'is increasingly used in various marine sectors and development frameworks. For it to be a truly useful approach, however, we argue that social …
A carbon budget for the northwest European continental shelf seas (NWES) was synthesized using available estimates for coastal, pelagic and benthic carbon stocks and …

Plankton drive a major sink of carbon across the global oceans. Dead plankton, their faeces and the faeces of plankton feeders, form a huge rain of carbon sinking to the seabed and …
Accounting guidelines exist for the recording of carbon flows in terrestrial and coastal ecosystems. Shelf sea sediments, while considered an important carbon store, have yet to …
Abstract Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face complex socio-economic and environmental threats, making them particularly vulnerable to climate change. Blue Carbon …
