Introduction Coastal ecosystems are vital blue carbon sinks that are increasingly threatened by climate change. Their vulnerability and sensitivity are strongly influenced by ecological structures and local conditions. Methods Using the Ecopath model, we evaluated the responses of three bays in Fujian, China (Sansha Bay, Fuqing Bay, and Xinghua Bay) under scenarios of increased precipitation, ocean deoxygenation, and warming....
