从大气和海洋到沿海生态系统，如海藻床，海草，盐沼和潮滩的二氧化碳（CO2）的封存是一个重要的和新兴的领域的利益，因为他们在碳储存和缓解气候条件的潜力的宝贵作用。在这里，我们调查了韩国的这些生态系统如何作为碳汇，并估算了通过水产养殖床、人工礁和海洋森林可能去除的二氧化碳量。我们还研究了恢复退化的沿海生态系统的好处。总的来说，我们估计韩国沿海生态系统覆盖的0.38 × 106公顷可能锁定约1.01 × 106吨二氧化碳。
The sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and ocean into coastal ecosystems such as seaweed beds, seagrasses, saltmarshes, and tidal flats is an important and emerging area of interest due to their valuable role in carbon storage and potential for moderating climate conditions. Here, we investigated how these ecosystems in Korea can serve as carbon sinks and estimated the amount of CO2 that might be removed through aquaculture beds, artificial reefs, and sea forests. We also examined the benefits of restoring degraded coastal ecosystems. In total, we estimated that the 0.38 × 106 ha covered by Korean coastal ecosystems could potentially lock up approximately 1.01 × 106 t of CO2.
