Greenland sheds new light on underwater carbon sink

So, researchers have discovered that vast underwater seaweed forests could significantly help in slowing down climate change. These macroalgae absorb huge amounts of CO2 and can transport carbon to the deep ocean, where it can stay for a century. By tracking 8,000 seaweed rafts off southwest Greenland, scientists found that ocean currents play a crucial role in this process. This research really highlights the importance of coastal macroalgal forests in the Earth’s carbon cycle.
