| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The carbon captured by living organisms in oceans is stored in the form of sediments from mangroves, salt marshes and seagrasses. It was evaluated the blue carbon sinks by Bivalvia Corbicula japonica river mouth tidal flat. It was calculated that the amount of carbon sink as production, shell formed, shell buried was larger than source as respiration and dead in this muddy tidal flat. These results indicated that C. japonica plays a role for contribution to sink the blue carbon. Although the carbon dioxide was fixed by microphytobenthos in sediment, released in surface of the water. The carbon was released throughout the year.
