Key Points

The study aims to establish relationships between coverage and biomass for various seaweeds and seagrass in Japan's coastal regions.
Field surveys were conducted to gather data on large and small seaweeds, as well as seagrass.
Data was collected from nine coastal areas across Japan.
Relationships between coverage and biomass were derived from the collected data and existing literature.
A total of 33 relationships between coverage and biomass for different seaweeds and seagrass were identified.
These relationships enable estimation of biomass without the need for destructive sampling.
The findings support calculations for blue carbon storage in marine habitats.

This research examines coverage-biomass relationships in seaweeds and seagrass, indicating their potential for blue carbon storage.
