The climate benefit of seagrass blue carbon is reduced by methane fluxes and enhanced by nitrous oxide fluxes
Abstract Blue carbon is carbon stored long-term in vegetated coastal ecosystems, which constitutes an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). However, because methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have higher global warming potentials (GWP) than CO2, their production and release during...
