Coastal ocean might be a more efficient #CO2 sink than the open #ocean as we found in our new paper led by Moritz Mathis. Find out why here👇

Spoiler: we show that the increase in #CoastalOcean #CO2uptake during the 20th century was primarily driven by biological responses to climate-induced circulation changes (36%) and increasing riverine nutrient loads (23%), together exceeding the ocean CO2 solubility pump (41%).

Move thoughtfully and plant things.

Plants may be even more industrious helpers than previously assumed.

Plants are likely to absorb more CO₂ in a changing climate than we thought – here's why

Climate modelling that best accounts for the processes that sustain plant life predicts plants could absorb up to 20% more CO₂ than the simplest version predicted.
