Seagrass and macroalgae beds are key blue carbon ecosystems in the ocean. However,
coastal development and climate change are sparking a growing concern about the …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays an essential role in the global marine carbon cycle,
with coastal vegetated communities as important DOC producers. However, the ultimate fate …

Coastal development and climate change are sparking growing concern about the
vulnerability of the organic carbon (OC) stocks in marine sediments to remineralization …

Seagrass beds act as blue carbon sinks globally as they enhance the trap** of recalcitrant
(ie, low biodegradability) organic carbon in their sediments. Recent studies also show that …

Marine macrophytes constitute one of the most productive ecosystems on the planet, as well
as one of the most threatened by anthropogenic activities and climate change. Their …

Using macroalgae cultures to sequester carbon has been proposed in recent years. Yet the
key mechanism of carbon sequestration—how carbon in degrading biomass is converted …

Cadiz Bay is a shallow mesotidal lagoon with extensive populations of the seagrass
Cymodocea nodosa at intertidal and shallow subtidal elevations. This work aims to …

Seawater dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in seagrass meadows is gaining attention for its
role in carbon sequestration. Abundant refractory compounds in DOC are exported by …

A crucial factor in the long-term survival of benthic macrophyte communities under light-
reduction stress is how they balance carbon metabolism during photosynthesis and …

We report estimates of community gross primary production (GPP), community respiration
(CR), and net community production (NCP) based on the change of dissolved O 2 during …
