蓝色碳（BC）一词是十年前首次创造的，以描述沿海植被生态系统对全球碳固存的不成比例的巨大贡献。卑诗省在缓解气候变化和适应中的作用现已达到国际知名度。为了帮助将来的研究优先考虑，我们组建了该领域的主要专家，以同意卑诗省科学中排名前十的问题。了解气候变化如何影响成熟的BC生态系统和恢复过程中的碳积累是一个很高的重点。有争议的问题包括碳酸盐和大型藻类在卑诗省循环中的作用，以及在BC生态系统干扰后释放温室气体的程度。科学家寻求改善BC生态系统范围的精确度；确定卑诗省出处的技术；了解影响BC生态系统中隔离的因素，并具有BC的相应值；以及有效增强这一价值的管理行动。总体而言，此概述为未来几十年的未来研究提供了全面的路线图。
The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon sequestration. The role of BC in climate change mitigation and adaptation has now reached international prominence. To help prioritise future research, we assembled leading experts in the field to agree upon the top-ten pending questions in BC science. Understanding how climate change affects carbon accumulation in mature BC ecosystems and during their restoration was a high priority. Controversial questions included the role of carbonate and macroalgae in BC cycling, and the degree to which greenhouse gases are released following disturbance of BC ecosystems. Scientists seek improved precision of the extent of BC ecosystems; techniques to determine BC provenance; understanding of the factors that influence sequestration in BC ecosystems, with the corresponding value of BC; and the management actions that are effective in enhancing this value. Overall this overview provides a comprehensive road map for the coming decades on future research in BC science.
