Seaweed (macroalgae) has attracted attention globally given its potential for climate change
mitigation. A topical and contentious question is: Can seaweeds' contribution to climate …

Measurements of the production and consumption of organic material have been a focus of
aquatic science for more than 80 years. Over the last century, a variety of approaches have …

Vegetated coastal habitats, including seagrass and macroalgal beds, mangrove forests and
salt marshes, form highly productive ecosystems, but their contribution to the global carbon …

The metabolic rates of seagrass communities were synthesized on the basis of a data set on
seagrass community metabolism containing 403 individual estimates derived from a total of …

Seaweed farming has been proposed as a strategy for adaptation to ocean acidification, but
evidence is largely lacking. Changes of pH and carbon system parameters in surface waters …

Calcium carbonates (CaCO3) often accumulate in mangrove and seagrass sediments. As
CaCO3 production emits CO2, there is concern that this may partially offset the role of Blue …

Annually integrated air-water CO 2 flux data in 44 coastal environments were compiled from
literature. Data were gathered in 8 major ecosystems (inner estuaries, outer estuaries, whole …

Macrophytes growing in shallow coastal zones characterised by intense metabolic activity
have the capacity to modify pH within their canopy and beyond. We observed diel pH …

With an annual production of> 10 million t (Mt), China is the largest producer of cultivated
shellfish and seaweeds in the world. Through mariculture of shellfish and seaweeds, it is …

We compiled from literature annually integrated air–water fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2)
computed from field measurements, in 20 coastal European environments that were …
