Connected macroalgal‐sediment systems: blue carbon and food webs in the deep coastal ocean (2019, background): “Nowhere else in the coastal and open ocean is the full blue carbon cycle (from fixing of CO2 to permanent sequestration) known to occur within single habitats (Nellemann et al. 2009, Duarte et al. 2013, Howard et al. 2017).”
The role of coastal plant communities for climate change mitigation and adaptation (2013, background): “1), which can be achieved by: (1) inducing wave breaking as the main damping mechanism19; (2) dissipating energy through flow separation51; (3) dissipating energy through friction on rough surfaces; (4) dissipating energy through porous friction52,53; (5) producing a barrier effect that reflects ene”
The future of Blue Carbon science (2019, background): “There are three key issues, all beginning to be addressed by BC researchers, but requiring further study: (1) the depth in the soil profile to which the disturbance propagates, (2) the proportion of disturbed C that is lost as CO2, and (3) the extent to which issues 1 and 2 are context dependent.”
The necromass of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow: fate, role, ecosystem services and vulnerability (2016, background): “Seagrasses play a major role as they are estimated to account for 40% (50 million metric tons of carbon per year) of the carbon stored each year by coastal vegetation (Nellemann et al., 2009).”
The future of seaweed aquaculture in a rapidly changing world (2017, background): “SABs and natural seaweed beds and kelp forests represent very significant pools of aquatic vegetation and C sinks and they could thus enhance carbon sequestration in coastal waters like other blue carbon systems (Nellemann et al., 2009; Vierros, 2013; Howard et al., 2014).”
Expansion of vegetated coastal ecosystems in the future Arctic (2014, background): “Likewise, kelp forests grow on rocky bottoms, where carbon sequestration is not possible and are, therefore, believed not to contribute to long-term carbon sinks (Nellemann et al., 2009).”
