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 …

Current evidence suggests that macroalgal-dominated habitats are important contributors to
the oceanic carbon cycle, though the role of those formed by calcifiers remains controversial …

The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima has received intense scientific attention over the last
decades. In recent years, interest in cultivation of the species has strongly increased in the …

The pressing need to mitigate the effects of climate change is driving the development of
novel approaches for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the atmosphere, with the ocean …

To limit global warming below 2° C by 2100, we must drastically reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and additionally remove~ 100–900 Gt CO2 from the atmosphere (carbon dioxide …

The coastal ocean represents an important global carbon sink and is a focus for
interventions to mitigate climate change and meet the Paris Agreement targets while …

Aim Future climate change threatens marine forests across the world, potentially disrupting
ecosystem function and services. Nonetheless, the direction and intensity of climate …

Kelp forests may contribute substantially to ocean carbon sequestration, mainly through
transporting kelp carbon away from the coast and into the deep sea. However, it is not clear …

Global models predict that Antarctica has little suitable habitat for macroalgae and that
Antarctic macroalgae therefore make a negligible contribution to global carbon fixation …

Abstract Background and Aims Kelp forests are increasingly considered blue carbon
habitats for ocean-based biological carbon dioxide removal, but knowledge gaps remain in …
