This study assesses the carbon balance of China's lakes by isolating autochthonous organic carbon burial as intrinsic sequestration. In the 2020s, lakes were net carbon sources (-0.83 Tg C/yr), with regional variation. Under SSP2-4.5, resto…

This review argues that deep soil organic carbon (dSOC) must be understood through its unique inputs, transport pathways, and stabilization mechanisms, distinct from surface SOC. dSOC persistence is controlled by interacting hydrological, g…

Using a coupled hydro-eco-morphodynamic model, this study quantifies carbon uptake and sequestration in seagrass meadows of the Wadden Sea's Sylt-Rømø Bay. Annual carbon uptake is 895±465 tC, with only ~24% stored in sediments, lower than p…
