Global development has been heavily reliant on the overexploitation of natural resources
since the Industrial Revolution. With the extensive use of fossil fuels, deforestation, and other …

Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

To achieve goals for climate and economic growth," negative emissions
technologies"(NETs) that remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the air will need to play …

Coastal tidal wetlands produce and accumulate significant amounts of organic carbon (C)
that help to mitigate climate change. However, previous data limitations have prevented a …

Mangrove forests store and sequester large area-specific quantities of blue carbon (Corg).
Except for tundra and peatlands, mangroves store more Corg per unit area than any other …

Carbon fixed by vegetated coastal ecosystems (blue carbon) can mitigate anthropogenic
CO2 emissions, though its effectiveness differs with the spatial scale of interest. A literature …

Marine vegetated habitats (seagrasses, salt-marshes, macroalgae and mangroves) occupy
0.2% of the ocean surface, but contribute 50% of carbon burial in marine sediments. Their …

Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal saltmarshes are vegetated coastal
ecosystems that accumulate and store large quantities of carbon in their sediments. Many …

Mangroves are ecologically and economically important forests of the tropics. They are
highly productive ecosystems with rates of primary production equal to those of tropical …

A substantial amount of the atmospheric carbon taken up on land through photosynthesis
and chemical weathering is transported laterally along the aquatic continuum from upland …
