Short summary
Seagrass restoration serves as a nature-based solution for carbon dioxide removal. We examined the organic carbon and carbonate dynamics of restored seagrass (SG) and bare sediment (BS) using ex situ core incubations. SG exhibited higher net ecosystem metabolism compared to BS, while no significant difference was observed in net ecosystem calcification. Consequently, SG demonstrated a significantly enhanced overall capacity for carbon uptake.
