Enhanced carbon burial in seagrass meadows under ocean acidification revealed by carbon dioxide vents - Ocean Acidification

Seagrass meadows are natural carbon sinks, yet the effect of ocean acidification on their carbon burial capacity remains poorly understood. Here we investigated natural carbon dioxide vents in Ischia, Italy to assess how seawater pH influences carbon burial in an area dominated by the seagrass Posidonia oceanica. Organic carbon burial rates (mean ± standard error) between 1954 – […] The post Enhanced carbon burial in seagrass meadows under ocean…
