Marine ice is retreating in many sectors of Earth’s polar and subpolar regions. The rates are unprecedented, generating great concern both scientific public communities. Despite the expected serious implications, we lack a comprehensive understanding how loss related processes control marine biota interactions at different spatiotemporal scales under multiple environmental stressors drivers change. We systematically review existing knowledge on losses shelves, sea ice, glaciers affect biocenosis. include situ, remote sensing, modelling studies biota, phyto- zooplankton, fish, seabirds, zoobenthos mammals, covering time span three decades (1991-2022). apply qualitative ecosystem‐based risk assessment to assess individual cumulative response ecosystem components services. most threats opportunities manifest shallow coastal zones.

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is gaining recognition as a necessary action in addition to emissions reduction prevent some of the worst effects climate change. Macroalgae aquaculture has been identified potential CDR strategy and significant research investments have made this area. This article reviews current methods for monitoring carbon assess application context macroalgae strategy. In total, 382 papers were included review categorized by uptake methods, permanence comprehensive frameworks assessing capture. While measuring are well established, natural life cycle products following harvest lacking. To achieve full benefit cultivation solution, monitoring, reporting, verification standards improved need be developed.

Continental shelf sediments store large amounts of organic carbon. Protecting this carbon from release back into the marine system and managing environment to maximize its rate accumulation could both play a role in mitigating climate change. For these reasons, context an expanding “Blue Carbon” concept, research interest quantity vulnerability stored continental shelf, slope, deep ocean is increasing. In systems, storage physically distant sources, altered between source sink, disturbed by anthropogenic activities. The methodological approaches needed obtain evidence assess sea sediment manageability within evolving blue framework cannot be transferred directly those applied coastal vegetated “traditional” habitats. We present toolbox methods which can provide establish where when offshore contribute mitigation, focusing on sediments. These are discussed cycle how they on: (i) stock: much there it distributed?

Considered a treasure house for capturing storing dioxide, it can alleviate environmental issues linked climate change positively influence environments where people live. Thus, clarify hotspots development trends of blue research, bibliometric analysis incorporating ScientoPy VOSviewer software were used quantitatively analyze 4,604 publications from Web Science Scopus databases between 1993 2023. The results indicate rapidly growing number published studies on carbon, with research being multifaceted gradually becoming an interdisciplinary international topic. This study which is based keyword clustering analysis, comprises three stages. strength cooperative connections scholars various countries who have work carbon. found that cooperation networks developed are strong those developing relatively weak. Quantitative trend reveals focus restoration conservation ecosystems, remote sensing predominant technology field recent years. In increasing sequestration capacity, mitigation, macroalgae remain potential development.

Concern for the future requires local steward-led cooperation between natural and social scientists decision-makers to develop informed policy-relevant nature-based mitigation solutions, including blue carbon (BC), which can help secure future. Salt marshes, kelp forests, seagrass meadows (and a lesser extent mangroves) are significant BC ecosystems in temperate areas. We discuss concept of stocks scientific approaches building considering variability conditions co-benefits improve climate change adaptation mechanisms. The study examines (1) methods assess potential impact disturbances, while (2) relevant policy based on socio-economic assessments impacted communities. highlight economic rebuilding using financial tools such as bonds, development plans, cost-benefit analyses, cross-ecosystem restoration projects, AI blockchain, accounts coastal ecosystems, emphasizing that cutting emissions is more important than (re)building stocks.
