Radiocarbon isotopic evidence for assimilation of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> by the seagrass <i>Zostera marina</i>
Submerged aquatic vegetation takes up water-column dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) as a carbon source across its thin cuticle layer. It is expected that marine macrophytes also use atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> when exposed to air during low tide, although assimilation of atmospheric CO<...
