Characterizing blue carbon stocks in Thalassia testudinum meadows subjected to different phosphorus supplies: A lignin biomarker approach

Seagrass meadows represent globally important stores of carbon. However, environmental heterogeneity in shallow, estuarine environments may shape the quantity, composition, and postdepositional processing of organic carbon stocks (C org ) in such meadows. Along a persistent gradient in total phosphorus concentrations in the water column and a parallel gradient in seagrass morphology, we measured bulk carbon parameters (C org , dry bulk density,...
