Blue carbon is the carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems, which sequester large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, and are an important part of global carbon sequestration.
Coastal and marine ecosystems are necessary for many environmental processes on earth, notably, through their ability to sequester carbon from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. The carbon that is stored naturally in these ecosystems is referred to as blue carbon.
This carbon can be stored in natural formations such as:
These biospheres naturally absorb and retain large amounts of carbon in the plant structures as well as in the ground below. For example, mangroves absorb a high amount of carbon dioxide, and they are incredibly efficient at storing it as opposed to terrestrial plant life. There has been an increasing focus on these blue carbon sequestration ecosystems in recent years due to their efficiency and importance in carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. For example, coastal ecosystems take up less than 1% of ocean surface area globally, yet they are responsible for capturing roughly 3/4ths of the total carbon sequestered by the oceans on earth.
What are sustainable concert tours, and why is it imperative that artists take measures to reduce the environmental impact of their concerts as the pathway to financial success in the music industry shifts?
In this article, we’ll talk about GOSAT satellites such as Ibuki, their benefits, and their potential pitfalls in the fight against climate change.
In this article, we’ll explore the history of the UK’s Labour Party, its current leadership, and its views on environmental issues.
