Bakau bukan sekadar penyimpan karbon, ia juga sumber kehidupan komuniti pesisir

Artikel terbaru di The Conversation membincangkan kepentingan memastikan pemulihan bakau bukan sahaja memberi manfaat kepada alam sekitar dan pasaran karbon, tetapi turut menyokong komuniti pesisir, perkongsian manfaat yang adil serta rantaian nilai tempatan.

Abstract

While the sinking formation of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is well understood, how this bottom water "returns home" through upwelling within ocean basins, particularly the Indo-Pacific, remains shrouded in uncertainty. In the 1960s, Munk’s classic "Abyssal Recipes" theory sought to explain these abyssal flows, yet later observations exposed two significant conflicts with real-world data. In 2016, Ferrari, McDougall, and colleagues proposed the "Towards a New Abyssal Recipe" framework, introducing bottom boundary layer (BBL) upwelling to address Munk’s inconsistencies. Drawing on recent evidence of a potential cooling trend in the deep ocean, this talk revisits these debates, offering a fresh interpretation of Munk’s discrepancies and proposing a new mechanism for abyssal upwelling in the Indo-Pacific. It contributes to the ongoing quest to unravel how bottom waters complete their global journey.
