Direct and indirect effects of human activity on the carbon sequestering capacity of coastal ecosystems.

While direct impacts receive more attention and figure prominently in carbon emission projections, indirect impacts can rival direct habitat conversion in carbon emissions and are likely to increase as coastal habitats are impacted by more intense and diverse human activities.

尽管直接影响受到更多关注，且在碳排放预测中占据突出位置，但间接影响的碳排放水平可与直接生境转换不相上下；随着沿海生境遭受更强烈且多样的人类活动冲击，间接影响的规模大概率将持续攀升。
