2.4 Analysis of Carbon Stocks and Δ13C in Relation to Potential Drivers Using Stepwise Linear Models To investigate the drivers of OC stocks, three different linear mixed effects models were used, where the response variable “OC stocks” (log-transformed) was modeled with different combinations of fixed explanatory variables. First, the relationship of “seagrass species identity” (17 levels) and “coastal geomorphology” (7 levels) with the “OC stocks” of monospecific seagrass meadows was tested.
Abstract Seagrass ecosystems contain globally significant organic carbon (C) stocks. However, climate change and increasing frequency of extreme events threaten their preservation. Shark Bay, Western Australia, has the largest C stock reported for a seagrass ecosystem, containing up to 1.3% of the total C stored within the top metre of seagrass sediments worldwide.
