Can we manage coastal ecosystems to sequester more blue carbon?
To promote the sequestration of blue carbon, resource managers rely on bestmanagement practices that have historically included protecting and restoring vegetated coastal habitats (seagrasses, tidal marshes, and mangroves), but are now beginning to incorporate catchmentlevel approaches. Drawing upon knowledge from a broad range of environmental variables that influence blue carbon sequestration...
متن کاملTesting the influence of environmental heterogeneity on fish species richness in two biogeographic provinces
Environmental homogenization in coastal ecosystems impacted by human activities may be an important factor explaining the observed decline in fish species richness. We used fish community data (>200 species) from extensive surveys conducted in two biogeographic provinces (extent >1,000 km) in North America to quantify the relationship between fish species richness and local (grain <10 km(2)) en...
متن کاملPredators help protect carbon stocks in blue carbon ecosystems
NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE | VOL 5 | DECEMBER 2015 | www.nature.com/natureclimatechange Climate change is an urgent societal issue that can be addressed by a combination of reduced emissions and climate mitigation strategies, including those based on natural carbon (C) stores (that is, biosequestration). The need to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations combined with global interest in C trading and...
متن کاملCoastal tropical zooplankton: Patterns and processes over spatial scales
Previous studies on the abundance/biomass and species distribution of coastal tropical zooplankton have been done at a few stations, making them unsuitable to study spatial patterns. Whereas several physical and biological processes have been found to generate and maintain the spatial patterns of coastal tropical zooplankton, the scales of spatial dependency of these processes and their effects...
