Dynamics and fate of blue carbon in a mangrove–seagrass seascape: influence of ...
Dahl, Martin; Ismail, Rashid O.; Arias-Ortiz, Ariane; Deyanova, Diana; Franco, Joao N.; Hammar, Linus; Hoamby, Arielle I.; Linderholm, Hans W.Context: Seagrass meadows act as efficient natural carbon sinks by sequestering atmospheric CO2 and through trapping of allochthonous organic material, thereby preserving organic carbon (Corg) in their sediments. Less understood is the influence of landscape configuration and transformation (land-use change) on carbon sequestration dynamics in coastal seascapes across the land–sea interface. Objectives: We expl...
High seasonal variability in sediment carbon stocks of cold‐temperate seagrass ...
Dahl, Martin; Asplund, Maria E.; Deyanova, Diana; Franco, Joao N.; Koliji, Alan; Infantes, Eduardo; Perry, Diana; Björk, Mats; Gullström, MartinSeagrass meadows have a high ability to capture and store atmospheric CO2 in the plant biomass and underlying sediment and thereby function as efficient carbon sinks. The seagrass Zostera marina is a common species in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, a region with strong seasonal variations in climate. How seasonality affects carbon storage capacity in seagrass meadows is largely unknown, and therefore, in th...
Sediment properties as important predictors of carbon storage in zostera marina...
Dahl, Martin; Deyanova, Diana; Gutschow, Silvia; Asplund, Maria E.; Lyimo, Liberatus D.; Karamfilov, Ventzislav; Santos, Rui; Bjork, MatsSeagrass ecosystems are important natural carbon sinks but their efficiency varies greatly depending on species composition and environmental conditions. What causes this variation is not fully known and could have important implications for management and protection of the seagrass habitat to continue to act as a natural carbon sink. Here, we assessed sedimentary organic carbon in Zostera marina meadows (and a...
