Marine algae and shellfish are crucial marine carbon sinks, absorbing atmospheric CO2. This study forecasts their carbon sink potential in China
Area of Science:
- Marine Biology
- Environmental Science
- Climate Change Research
Background:
- Marine carbon sinks are essential for achieving carbon neutrality.
- Algae and shellfish play a significant role in capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Understanding and forecasting the carbon sink capacity of these marine organisms is critical.
Purpose of the Study:
- To forecast the future trend of carbon sink capability for algae and shellfish.
- To analyze these trends across nine coastal provinces in China.
- To provide recommendations for enhancing marine carbon sink potential.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a Fractional Order Accumulation Grey Model (FGM) for forecasting.
- Analyzed carbon sink capability trends based on data from China's coastal provinces.
Main Results:
- Algae and shellfish demonstrate substantial carbon sink capabilities.
- Coastal provinces in northern China show smoother trends in carbon sink capacity.
- Southern and eastern coastal provinces exhibit more drastic changes in carbon sink trends.
Conclusions:
- Coastal provinces should prioritize the protection and expansion of algae and shellfish populations.
- Enhancing marine carbon sink resources is vital for sustainable environmental development.
- Marine organisms offer a significant pathway towards achieving carbon neutrality goals.
