Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry
Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

Coastal vegetation and estuaries are collectively a greenhouse gas sink
Coastal ecosystems release or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous
oxide (N2O), but the net effects of these ecosystems on the radiative balance remain …

The renaissance of Odum's outwelling hypothesis in'Blue Carbon'science
Abstract The term 'Blue Carbon'was coined about a decade ago to highlight the important
carbon sequestration capacity of coastal vegetated ecosystems. The term has paved the …

Methane emissions offset atmospheric carbon dioxide uptake in coastal macroalgae, mixed vegetation and sediment ecosystems
Coastal ecosystems can efficiently remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and
are thus promoted for nature-based climate change mitigation. Natural methane (CH4) …

Carbon removal using coastal blue carbon ecosystems is uncertain and unreliable, with questionable climatic cost-effectiveness
Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal saltmarshes are vegetated coastal
ecosystems that accumulate and store large quantities of carbon in their sediments. Many …

[HTML][HTML] Blue carbon pathways for climate mitigation: Known, emerging and unlikely
As interest in natural climate mitigation solutions continues to grow, there is an essential role
for coastal and ocean ecosystems (“blue carbon”) to play. To meet mitigation targets …

Geomorphic and ecological constraints on the coastal carbon sink
Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

Current status and potential assessment of China's ocean carbon sinks
The role of ocean carbon sinks in global climate change mitigation and carbon neutrality is
still affected by lack of research. Aiming at overcoming the present limitations, a …
