Seagrasses store large amounts of blue carbon and mitigate climate change, but they have suffered strong regressions worldwide in recent decades. Blue assessments may support their conservation. However, existing maps are still scarce focused on certain seagrass species, such as the iconic genus Posidonia, intertidal very shallow seagrasses (<10 m depth), while deep-water opportunistic remained understudied. This study filled this gap by mapping assessing storage sequestration Cymodocea...
Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) are highly context-specific and inherently linked to local identity, which challenges their assessment. Participatory methods have proven capture the multiple values aspects of CES for communities. This paper presents an attempt understand different dimensions in Saint-Philippe municipality, Réunion Island, France. We applied a tiered, participatory approach that utilises knowledge co-creation processes over period 3 years. First, we co-created aim research...
A hydrothermal pretreatment of the microalga Nannochloropsis gaditana at mild temperatures was studied in order to reduce N and O content biocrude obtained by liquefaction (HTL). The work focused on evaluation temperature, reactor loading, time (factors) maximize yield pretreated biomass heteroatom contents transferred from aqueous phase (responses). study followed factorial design response surface methodology. An equation for every obtained, which led accurate calculation operating...
Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems their Services (MAES) has been widely applied on the European Union (EU) mainland, whereas EU Overseas entities still bear potential for implementation. This paper presents novel applications MAES procedure in Outermost Regions Countries Territories ("EU Overseas"). Eight case studies from different geographical areas were analysed through a comparative assessment by applying an established framework following key steps process, order to stipulate lessons...

Organic carbon stored in coastal vegetated habitats, such as salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses, is defined blue carbon. The conservation of seagrasses considered a nature-based solution to mitigate climate change, assessments may support decision making. This study focuses on mapping assessing storage sequestration by the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa oceanic region Canary Islands (eastern Atlantic). Particularly, this study: (1) mapped assessed past current capacity C. store sequester...
