EC54A:
Response and Mitigation Potential of Coastal Vegetated Habitats to Climate Change, Sea-Level Rise, and Ocean Acidification II Posters


Session ID#: 9443

Session Description:
In this session, we will highlight observations of biogeochemical, ecological and physical parameters associated with vegetated habitats (e.g., salt marshes, mangroves, seagrass beds, kelp forests, and algal beds) in the context of climate change and ocean acidification. Predicting the response of marine ecosystems to climate change, ocean acidification and hypoxia requires a better understanding of the natural variability of a variaty of parameters in coastal and estuarine environments. This is particularly important for nearshore areas, where the carbon system is more complex and variable than the open ocean. How will vegetated habitats respond to climate change and do they present unique strategies (e.g., ‘blue carbon’) for coping with coastal biogeochemical change? Research focusing on laboratory, theoretical and field experiments documenting the role, response and importance of photosynthetic habitats are welcomed, as well as research focused on the sequestration of organic and inorganic carbon in these habitats.
