Gorgonians are one of the most conspicuous inhabitants of marine animal forests (mainly composed of sessile filter feeders); their seston capture rates influence benthic-pelagic coupling processes and they act as C sinks immobilizing carbon in their long-living structures. Three gorgonian species (<i>Paramuricea clavata</i>, <i>Eunicella singularis</i> and <i>Leptogorgia sarmentosa</i>) were studied coupling data of population size structure, biomass and spatial distribution in a NW Mediterranean area (Cap de Creus, Spain) with feeding, respiration and growth rates. In the study area, we calculated that <i>P. clavata</i> sequestered 0.73 ± 0.71 g C m<sup>−2</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>, <i>E. singularis</i> 0.73 ± 0.89 g C m<sup>−2</sup> year<sup>−1</sup> and <i>L. sarmentosa</i> 0.03 ± 0.02 g C m<sup>−2</sup> year<sup>−1</sup>. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to calculate the importance as C sinks of gorgonian species that we consider as a starting point to estimate the importance of marine animal forests in C sequestration, and to ensure appropriate management and protection especially in areas and at depths where they are concentrated.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The importance of coastal gorgonians in the blue carbon budget","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-23 01:33:01.836150","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2019,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-05-26","DateCreate":"2020-05-14","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000486567800026","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-019-49797-4"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":324038,"PubliDate":2019,"Pagination":"13550","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"9","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
