Role of Macroalgal Forests within Mediterranean Shallow Bays in Blue Carbon Storage
Open accessAbstract
Although seaweeds rank among the most productive vegetated habitats globally, their inclusion within Blue Carbon frameworks is at its onset, partially because they usually grow in rocky substrates and their organic carbon (Corg) is mostly exported and stored beyond their habitat and thus, demonstrating its long-term storage is challenging. Here, we studied the sedimentary Corg storage in macroalgal forests dominated by Gongolaria barbata and in adjacent seagrass Cymodocea nodosa mixed with Caulerpa prolifera algae meadows, and bare sand habitats in Mediterranean shallow coastal embayments. We characterized the biogeochemistry of top 30 cm sedimentary deposits, including sediment grain-size, organic matter and Corg contents, Corg burial rates and the provenance of sedimentary Corg throughout stable carbon isotopes (δ13Corg) and pyrolysis analyses. Sediment Corg stocks and burial rates (since 1950) in G. barbata forests (mean ± SE, 3.5 ± 0.2 kg Corg m−2 accumulated at 15.5 ± 1.6 g Corg m−2 y−1) fall within the range of those reported for traditional Blue Carbon Ecosystems. Although the main species contributing to sedimentary Corg stocks in all vegetated habitats examined was C. nodosa (36 ± 2 %), macroalgae contributed 49 % (19 ± 2 % by G. barbata and 30 ± 3 % by C. prolifera) based on isotope mixing model results. Analytical pyrolysis confirmed the presence of macroalgae-derived compounds in the sediments, including N-compounds and α-tocopherol linked to G. barbata and C. prolifera, respectively. The sedimentary Corg burial rate linked to macroalgae within the macroalgal forests examined ranged from 5.4 to 9.5 g Corg m−2 y−1 (7.4 ± 2 g Corg m−2 y−1), which is 4-fold higher than previous global estimates. This study provides empirical evidence for the long-term (~70 years) sequestration of macroalgae-derived Corg within and beyond seaweed forests in Mediterranean shallow coastal embayments and thereby, supports the inclusion of macroalgae in Blue Carbon frameworks.

Macroalgae are large, multicellular organisms commonly found in marine environments; their growth rate is relatively slow, but their substantial biomass contributes significantly to carbon sequestration.
“Macroalgae, often referred to as seaweeds, are large, multicellular organisms commonly found in marine environments, where they attach to surfaces such as rocks and coral reefs.Although their growth rate is relatively slow, their substantial biomass contributes significantly to carbon sequestration [19].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
