Estimating Global “Blue Carbon” Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems
Linwood Pendleton,Daniel C. Donato,Brian C. Murray,Stephen Crooks,W. Aaron Jenkins,Samantha Sifleet,C. B. Craft,James W. Fourqurean,J. Boone Kauffman,Núria Marbà,J. Patrick Megonigal,Emily Pidgeon,Dorothée Herr,David Gordon,Alexis Baldera +14 more
TL;DR: It is clear that policies encouraging the sustainable management of coastal ecosystems could significantly reduce carbon emissions from the land-use sector, in addition to sustaining the well-recognized ecosystem services of coastal habitats.
Clarifying the role of coastal and marine systems in climate mitigation
Jennifer Howard,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier,Dorothée Herr,Joan A. Kleypas,Emily Landis,Elizabeth Mcleod,Emily Pidgeon,Stefanie Simpson +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyze the scientific evidence regarding whether coral reefs, phytoplankton, kelp forests, and marine fauna are viable long-term carbon sinks and whether they can be managed for climate mitigation.
Indonesia's blue carbon: a globally significant and vulnerable sink for seagrass and mangrove carbon
Daniel M. Alongi,Daniel Murdiyarso,James W. Fourqurean,J. B. Kauffman,Andreas Hutahaean,S. Crooks,Catherine E. Lovelock,Jennifer Howard,Dorothée Herr,Miguel D. Fortes,Emily Pidgeon,T. Wagey +11 more
TL;DR: The global significance of carbon storage in Indonesia's coastal wetlands was assessed based on published and unpublished measurements of the organic carbon content of living seagrass and mangrove biomass and soil pools.
The potential to integrate blue carbon into MPA design and management
Jennifer Howard,Elizabeth Mcleod,Sebastian Thomas,Erin K. Eastwood,Erin K. Eastwood,Matthew Fox,Lauren Wenzel,Emily Pidgeon +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how marine protected areas (MPAs) can be used to protect and increase carbon sequestration and ensure integrity of carbon storage through conservation and restoration activities.
