Bioplastics for a circular economy
Bioplastics—typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers—stand to contribute to
more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which virgin …

The land-to-ocean loops of the global carbon cycle
Carbon storage by the ocean and by the land is usually quantified separately, and does not
fully take into account the land-to-ocean transport of carbon through inland waters …

Trends and variability in the ocean carbon sink
The ocean has absorbed 25±2% of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions from the early
1960s to the late 2010s, with rates more than tripling over this period and with a mean …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …
