carbon storage (Maxwell et al., 2023; Pollmann et al., 2021). However, in recent years, several studies have explored the BC potential of other marine systems (Lovelock and Duarte, 2019; Filgueira et al [...] the modelling potential of impact scenarios on carbon stores (Dam et al., 2024). New and ongoing studies globally focus on quantitatively and qual- itatively describing the locally relevant processes. Model [...] Corg storage amounts to 0.83 ± 0.09 kgC m− 2 (Scheffold and Hense, 2020). There are currently no studies on the Corg content specifically in the German EEZ. However, there are no anoxic areas present in
