TL;DR: The sources, exchanges and fates of carbon in the coastal ocean and how anthropogenic activities have altered the carbon cycle are discussed.

TL;DR: The origin of vascular plants, the major component of TerrOC, and how their appearance affected the overall cycling of OC on land are considered, and priming is in fact an important process that needs to be incorporated into global carbon models in the context of climate change.

TL;DR: In this paper, leachate and humic and fulvic acid fractions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from senescent littoral aquatic plants were exposed to varying spectra of ultraviolet radiation as well as natural UV of sunlight over different periods of time.

TL;DR: This article proposes that more emphasis should be placed on LDE in future global climate change research, and uses some of the most anthropogenically altered LDE systems in the world, the Mississippi/Atchafalaya River and the Chinese rivers that enter the Yellow Sea as case-studies, to posit that these systems are both “drivers” and “recorders” of natural and anthropogenic environmental change.

TL;DR: The authors identify the top-ten unresolved questions in the field and find that most questions relate to the precise role blue carbon can play in mitigating climate change and the most effective management actions in maximising this.
