As researchers have recently demonstrated, wetland-based mangroves may boast some important climate benefits in the face of ...

The aim of the study, said the researchers, was to provide policymakers with greater understanding about the factors that affect the carbon storage potential of seagrass meadows.

The study emphasizes that conserving existing seagrass meadows is among the most cost-effective strategies for mitigating climate change. Immediate actions are critical, including integrating seagrass ...

The sequestration of carbon dioxide is an even worse idea than intermittent wind and solar energy. Wind and solar require reliable on-demand backup in order to achieve grid reliability, creating a ...

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a proposed method of carbon dioxide sequestration that involves spreading crushed silicate minerals on soils to drive chemical reactions that form carbonate ...

Seagrass is fantastic at carbon capture—and it’s at risk of extinction An underwater gardening experiment along the East Coast aims at restoration.

Seagrass plays a big role in marine ecosystems but is being rapidly destroyed due to climate change, Ulysses wants to help.

Improving the data and understanding of carbon sequestration rates of seagrass can help build the foundations to quantify the carbon benefits.

Blue Carbon refers to organic carbon captured and stored by the ocean in vegetated coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, saltmarshes or seagrass meadows.

Antarctic krill can lock away similar levels of carbon as seagrass and mangroves Date: September 17, 2024 Source: Imperial College London Summary: Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key ...

Seagrasses and salt marshes can store more carbon than trees. Adding it up is easier said than done. Could restoring New England’s coastal ecosystems help the region meet its climate goals?

More seagrass in places that were previously bare sand means more carbon sequestration. Halophila stipulacea is quite good at that —and might actually help other seagrass species, not just ...
