The global extent of coasts is huge and it has a massive impact on the planetary C balance.
Coasts are again very heterogeneous with their soils and sediments possessing varying C …

The sediment-water interface in the coastal ocean is a highly dynamic zone controlling
biogeochemical fluxes of greenhouse gases, nutrients, and metals. Processes in the …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

Blue carbon (BC) ecosystems provide important and multiple ecosystem services, including
climate change mitigation through carbon storage. However, these ecosystems are under …

There is increasing urgency to implement climate change mitigation strategies that enhance
greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions …

Seagrasses are highly productive ecosystems and hotspots for biodiversity, providing a
plethora of benefits to the environment and to people. Their value in sequestering and …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems such as saltmarshes and seagrasses are important sinks of
organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN), with large global and local variability, driven by …

Increasing the protection of coastal vegetated ecosystems has been suggested as one
strategy to compensate for increasing carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere as the …

The ability of seagrass meadows to filter nutrients and capture and store CO2 and nutrients
in the form of organic carbon (OC) and nitrogen (N) in their sediments may help to mitigate …

Anthropogenic sea level rise (SLR) presents one of the greatest risks to human lives and
infrastructures. Coastal vegetated ecosystems, that is, tidal marshes, seagrass meadows …
