#Slime for the #climate, delivered by brown #algae: In form of #fucoidan, #BrowAlgae could remove up to 550 million tons of #CarbonDioxide from the atmosphere every year
https://www.mpi-bremen.de/en/Slime-for-the-climate-delivered-by-brown-algae.htmlBrown algae take up large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and release parts of the #carbon contained therein back into the environment in mucous form. This #mucus is hard to break down for other #ocean inhabitants, thus the carbon is removed from the #atmosphere for a long time.
