Climate change hotspots and implications for the global subsea telecommunications network

M. A. Clare et al.

Summary: A global network of subsea telecommunications cables, which are crucial for global digital data transfer and financial trading, is vulnerable to damage by various natural hazards. However, the impacts of future climate change on these cables and their shore-based infrastructure have not been evaluated on a global scale. This study fills this knowledge gap by synthesizing existing evidence to assess the potential impacts of climate change on subsea cables. The study finds that climate change will likely result in changes to ocean conditions globally, but the impacts will vary geographically and not all areas will be affected in the same manner.

The essential carbon service provided by northern peatlands

Lorna Harris et al.

Summary: Northern peatlands have cooled the global climate by accumulating large quantities of soil carbon over thousands of years, making them critical for mitigating climate warming. Despite their importance, these peatlands in Canada and globally are facing threats from land-use change and disturbances, highlighting the need for targeted policies to strengthen their management. Insufficient policy safeguards and limited quantification and reporting of peatland greenhouse-gas emissions and removals increase the vulnerability of these important ecosystems.

Sediment oxygen consumption: Role in the global marine carbon cycle

Bo Barker Jorgensen et al.

Summary: The seabed is crucial for the marine carbon cycle, serving as a terminal location for organic matter oxidation, a bioreactor, and a repository for reactive organic carbon. This study compiles data on marine sediment oxygen uptake to understand the constraints on organic matter mineralization rates and their relationship with environmental parameters. Results show that seabed oxygen uptake is primarily controlled by ocean depth and primary productivity. The study also discusses oxygen transport, aerobic respiration, and anaerobic processes in the seabed. A global map of seabed oxygen uptake rates was created, revealing the oxidation of 212 Tmol C yr(-1) in marine sediments. A comparison with the flux of particulate organic carbon suggests a deficit in carbon turnover in the underlying seabed.

The footprint of ship anchoring on the seafloor

Sally J. Watson et al.

Summary: This study provides the first characterization of the footprint and extent of anchoring in a low congestion port in New Zealand-Aotearoa, revealing that high-tonnage ship anchors can excavate the seabed by up to 80 cm with long-lasting impacts. The calculated volume of displaced sediment by one high-tonnage ship on anchor can reach 2800 m(3), offering the first global estimate of the footprint of anchoring to the coastal seabed. The damage to the seafloor caused by anchoring has significant implications for marine ecosystems and carbon cycling, emphasizing the need to consider these poorly understood impacts to avoid irreversible damage to marine habitats as seaborne trade continues to increase.

Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea

Peter J. Talling et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the longest sediment flows measured on Earth, which were caused by floods and spring tides and deposited significant amounts of sediment and carbon into the deep sea. The study demonstrates how major rivers efficiently connect to the deep sea through analyzing the longest runout sediment flows ever measured. These findings have important implications for understanding organic carbon transfer and the impact of terrestrial climate change on the deep sea.

The role of post UK-LGM erosion processes in the long-term storage of buried organic C across Great Britain-A ?first order? assessment

A. M. Tye et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the importance of buried organic carbon in soils as a resource and the role of erosion processes in long-term carbon sequestration. By studying the impact of erosion processes since the Last Glacial Maximum in the UK on organic carbon burial, estimates were made on the mass of organic carbon buried in different types of deposits.

Current and projected global extent of marine built structures

A. B. Bugnot et al.

Summary: Marine construction is vast and projected to expand further by 2028. While it is one of the most extreme human modifications to global seascapes, its global extent compared to land remains largely unknown. This study provides a global assessment of existing and projected marine construction, serving as a critical baseline for tracking future marine human development.

Persistence of Biogeochemical Alterations of Deep-Sea Sediments by Bottom Trawling

S. Paradis et al.

Summary: Bottom trawling has been extending to deeper ocean areas since the mid-XXth century, causing depletion of organic carbon in sediment and degradation of labile compounds. Temporary trawling closures aimed at protecting fish stocks have limited effectiveness in restoring the seafloor, with potential long-term biogeochemical impacts at a global scale.

Protecting the global ocean for biodiversity, food and climate

Enric Sala et al.

Summary: The ocean is facing threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services, with only a small percentage highly protected in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) due to conflicts with fisheries and other uses. Developing a flexible conservation planning framework to prioritize highly protected MPAs in areas with multiple benefits could substantially increase ocean protection and address global issues of biodiversity, food security, and climate action.

Impacts of bottom trawling on benthic biogeochemistry in muddy sediments: Removal of surface sediment using an experimental field study

Claudia Morys et al.

Summary: Experimental benthic dredging in the Baltic Proper mimicked the impact of trawling on benthic biogeochemical processes, causing immediate effects on benthic fluxes and sediment properties. The removal of macrofauna by the dredge highlighted the potential loss of valuable functions associated with them in the studied area.

Microbial activity, methane production, and carbon storage in Early Holocene North Sea peats

Tanya J. R. Lippmann et al.

Summary: Northern latitude peatlands act as important carbon sources and sinks, with little known about the greenhouse gas budgets of peatlands submerged beneath the North Sea during the last glacial-interglacial transition. The study found consistent stratigraphic layering and local vegetation succession, with low concentrations of ancient methane present in sediment. The presence of methanogenic microorganisms and absence of methanotrophic microorganisms suggest the potential for microbial methane production in these sediment under changing environmental conditions.

New insights into large-scale trends of apparent organic matter reactivity in marine sediments and patterns of benthic carbon transformation

Felipe S. Freitas et al.

Summary: This study quantifies the apparent OM reactivity in marine sediments and finds that the variability is predominantly driven by parameter a, with parameter v falling within a narrow range. The results suggest that the large-scale variability in apparent OM reactivity is a function of the whole depositional environment, rather than single environmental controls.

MOSAIC (Modern Ocean Sediment Archive and Inventory of Carbon): a (radio)carbon-centric database for seafloor surficial sediments

Tessa Sophia van der Voort et al.

Summary: Mapping the biogeochemical characteristics of surficial ocean sediments is crucial for understanding global element cycling and environmental change. MOSAIC is a database focusing on (radio)carbon to provide insights into the source, abundance, and composition of organic matter in marine surface sediments at regional-to-global scales. It emphasizes the use of radiocarbon as a powerful tracer and chronometer of carbon cycle processes to complement existing databases.

Impact of bottom trawling on sediment biogeochemistry: a modelling approach

Emil De Borger et al.

Summary: Bottom trawling in shelf seas can have significant impacts on benthic metabolism, leading to reduced organic carbon mineralization rates and changes in oxygen and nitrate concentrations in sediment. The effects vary depending on trawling frequency and sediment type, with physical organic carbon removal through trawl-induced resuspension of sediments identified as the main cause of the changes in the mineralization process.
