- Enhanced Microplastic Burial in China's Coastal Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Drivers and Potential Roles in Climate Change Mitigation. Huang, Yuzhou Holmer, Marianne Xu, Caicai Liu, Muyuan Masque, Pere Serrano, Oscar Hu, Jing Effiong, Kokoette Tang, Tao Zhu, Jianyu Wu, Jiaping Xiao, Xi Microplastics China Climate Change Ecosystem Carbon Geologic Sediments Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) are important hotspots of microplastics. However, the magnitude and drivers of microplastic storage across the coastline, together with their roles in climate change mitigation, remain largely unknown. The results showed that microplastic stocks in the surface 12 cm sediments along the Chinese coast ranged from 2170 to 42,240 particles m, corresponding to 0.01-104.4 kg C ha of microplastic-derived carbon in BCEs. BCEs enhanced the trapping of microplastics, with 1.3-3.8-fold higher stocks than bare flats, while their contribution to organic carbon stocks was negligible (
