Connected macroalgal‐sediment systems: blue carbon and food webs in the deep coastal ocean (2019, background): “Ecological Monographs Vol. 0, No. 0 also to other connected blue carbon systems (Hill et al. 2015, Smale et al. 2018).”
Sustainable harvesting of wild seaweed resources (2017, background): “…as the transfer of organic materials between ecosystems (Krumhansl & Scheibling, 2012), natural, temporary carbon sequestration (Thiel et al., 2007, Hill et al., 2015; Raven, in press), removal of dissolved nutrients, thereby decreasing eutrophication of coastal waters, and coastal protection from…”
Tropicalisation of temperate reefs: Implications for ecosystem functions and management actions (2019, background): “…long‐term carbon sinks is still under investigation (Howard et al., 2017), recent studies suggest that kelp that reaches adjacent depositional areas can be sequestered in sediments and contribute meaningfully to the world's “blue carbon” budget (Hill et al., 2015; Krause‐Jensen et al., 2018).”
The future of seaweed aquaculture in a rapidly changing world (2017, background): “There is also evidence that some of this organic carbon is in refractory forms that would resist decomposition and thus would not be released as CO2 back into the atmosphere (Trevathan-Tackett et al., 2015) and seaweeds could therefore act as a “blue carbon” sink (Hill et al., 2015).”
