Our aim was to understand the evolution of blue carbon science, from where we came from and where we are now. We analysed 1,729 papers from 5,763 authors. Overall, the carbon-sink capacity of these ecosystems has been recognised long before the term 'blue carbon' was coined; with an ...
The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon sequestration. The role of BC in climate change mitigation and adaptation has now reached inter
Reading Passage 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13. which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. Indoor Pollution Since the early eighties we have been only too aware of the devast…
Evolution of eukaryotic photosynthesis increased its cellular energy flux, which unlocked positive feedbacks on biospheric productivity. • Biospheric expansions are further linked to changes in the global carbon cycle, plate tectonics and continental weathering. Abstract Metabolic processes in cells and che...
Mangroves are widely distributed in the upper part of tropical and subtropical intertidal zones, with the characteristics of high productivity and fast deposition rate. Under the combined action of its own growth and microorganisms, mangroves capture, transform and store CO2 in the atmosphere into ...

Space-time breakthroughs. Virgin births. A promising candidate for alien life. Science didn’t disappoint during our latest revolution around the sun.
To improve our understanding of the origin and evolution of mycoheterotrophic plants, we here present the chromosome-scale genome assemblies of two sibling orchid species: partially mycoheterotrophic Platanthera zijinensis and holomycoheterotrophic Platanthera guangdongensis. Comparative analysis shows that myc...
which may indicate a slow evolution of the lineage as a whole, at least until recently. Regardless of the improved genomic representation of the modern TEN genomes and the newly reconstructed pre-Columbian genome in this study, a larger representation of this lineage would be needed to draw ...
Polyploidization is among the strongest drivers of angiosperm evolution, contributing to the speciation and emergence of valuable traits in Saccharinae especially sugarcane andMiscanthus12,13,14.Miscanthusand sugarcane share a common ancestor, which split from the sorghum clade before their divergence. Foll...
