Ecosystem-based conservation that includes carbon sinks, alongside a linked credit system, as part of nature-based solution to combating climate change, could help reduce greenhouse gas levels and therefore the impact their emissions. Blue habitats pathways can also facilitate biodiversity retention, aiding sustainable fisheries island economies. However, robust blue research is often limited at scale regional governance management, lacking both incentives facilitation policy-integration....
The Southern Hemisphere westerly winds (SWW), a belt of strong zonal in the mid-latitudes, play key role climate variability. Recent intensification and southwards migration SWW is projected to continue due anthropogenic change despite recovering Antarctic ozone hole, impacting regional hydroclimate, ocean circulation carbon cycling. Despite importance SWW, our understanding their behaviour on centennial millennial timescales limited by inherently short observational record palaeo-archive...
Abstract We report the discovery of an ancient forest bed near Stanley, on Falkland Islands, second such deposit identified South Atlantic island archipelago that is today marked by absence native tree species. Fossil pollen, spores and wood fragments preserved in this buried at Tussac House show source vegetation was characterized a floristically diverse rainforest dominated Nothofagus -Podocarpaceae communities, similar to cool temperate forests/woodlands Magellanic evergreen rainforests....
Abstract The land‐ocean dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux represents a significant term within the global budget, with peatland‐dominated regions representing most intense sources of terrestrial DOC export. As interface between freshwater and marine systems, estuaries have potential to act as filter flux, removing terrestrially derived DOC, which is present at low concentrations in oceans, via combination physicochemical biological processes. However, fate peat‐derived remains poorly...
Peatland research, management and restoration efforts have predominantly been focused in the Northern Hemisphere, leaving Southern Hemisphere peatlands, with their confined spatial coverage, relative inaccessibility smaller research community understudied. To create comprehensive global databases of peat extent, greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes support informed efforts, we need to better quantify these peatlands role carbon cycle. Situated southern South Atlantic, at periphery climate envelope...
<p>Creating high resolution chronologies in sediment sequences is important for understanding past carbon-climate dynamics, including accurately dating the timing of climate events, and calculating carbon accumulation changes through time. Here we present >100 <sup>14</sup>C dates from UNSWs high-throughput MICADAS (Turney et al. 2021) that help answer key questions about dynamics Southern Hemisphere. Peatlands southern mid-high latitudes have...
