Digitizing the Carbon Sink Potential of Boreal Lakes (BlueLakes)
Project | Published: 2024-04-05

Lake sediments provide natural sinks in which organic carbon can accumulate on timescales of thousands of years. This way a part of the carbon is permanently removed from active recycling, and lake s...

Blue Carbon Habitats - a comprehensive mapping of Nordic salt marshes for estimating Blue Carbon storage potential - a pilot study
Project | Published: 2021-06-17

Coastal wetlands are important for sequestering carbon. They cover globally only 0.2 % of the ocean surface but contribute 50% of the total amount of carbon buried in marine sediments. Despite their ...
