Coralline algae against climate change
Study reveals key role of algae in countering the effects of climate change
Coralline algae beds play a primary role in the global carbon cycle. This is revealed by research, the results of which have been published in the journal Nature Communications, which highlights how coralline algal beds possess significant capacities to absorb atmospheric carbon and accumulate calcium carbonate in their structures, effectively becoming essential “carbon sinks” for mitigating the effects of climate change. These are marine ecosystems composed, for the most part, of rhodolites and maerl with a typical pinkish color that are still little studied with respect to their importance.
