The effect of carbonate mineral additions on biogeochemical conditions in surface sediments and benthic–pelagic exchange fluxes by K. Biçe, K. Biçe, T. Myers Stewart, T. Myers Stewart, G. G. Waldbusser, C. Meile

“…Our work indicates that carbonate additions have the potential to effectively buffer surficial sediments over multiple years, yielding biogeochemical conditions that counteract the detrimental effect of low-pH sediment conditions on larval recruitment and potentially increase benthic alkalinity fluxes to support marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) in the overlying water.…”
