Key features: Captures the historic context and recent developments
in science and policy arenas that address the potential for coastal
wetlands to be considered as significant contributors to carbon
sequestration Links multiple levels of science (biogeochemistry,
geomorphology, paleoclimate, etc.) with blue carbon concepts
(science, policy, mapping, operationalization, economics) in a
single compendium Concludes with a discussion of future directions
which covers integrated scientific approaches, impending threats
and specific gaps in current knowledge Includes 7 case studies from
across the globe that demonstrate the benefits and challenges of
blue carbon accounting Written by over 100 leading global blue
carbon experts in science and policy. Blue Carbon has emerged as a
term that represents the distinctive carbon stocks and fluxes into
or out of coastal wetlands such as marshes, mangroves, and
seagrasses. The Blue Carbon concept has rapidly developed in
science literature and is highly relevant politically, as nations
and markets are developing blue carbon monitoring and management
tools and policies. This book is a comprehensive and current
compendium of the state of the science, the state of maps and
mapping protocols, and the state of policy incentives (including
economic valuation of blue carbon), with additional sections on
operationalizing blue carbon projects and 7 case studies with
global relevance.
