Island ecosystems are highly sensitive to climate change and intensive human activities. However, most existing assessments rely on subjective weighting and linear assumptions, which may not capture nonlinear temporal evolution and can be distorted by spatial-scale effects, including extreme density outliers on micro-islands. Focusing on five representative islands in Jiangsu Province, China (2014–2024), this study applies a d...

Enhancing marine carbon sequestration through nearshore aquaculture is a novel scientific approach to addressing global climate change and facilitating low-carbon development. Scientifically estimating the quantity and price of China’s marine fisheries carbon sinks provides a crucial foundation for promoting marine carbon trading. In this article, firstly, the long-term carbon storage capacity of China’s marine carbon sequestr...
