As an ecologically and economically significant bivalve species, the Ruditapes philippinarum plays a vital role in carbon sequestration and marine ecosystem restoration. However, its ecological carrying capacity and carbon sequestration potential remain relatively underexplored. In this study, the authors further incorporated carbon budget estimation, Mixed Trophic Impact (MTI) analysis, and pedigree analysis to provide a comprehensive system-wide evaluation.
