Seagrass meadows are considered important natural carbon sinks due to their capacity to store organic carbon (C<sub>org</sub>) in sediments. However, the spatial heterogeneity of carbon storage in seagrass sediments needs to be better understood to improve accuracy of Blue Carbon assessments, particularly when strong gradients are present. We performed an intensive coring study within a sub-tropical estuary to assess the spatial variability in sedimentary C<sub>org</sub> associated with seagrass ...[more]
