  abstract = {{A}lthough the role of marine macrofauna in the ocean carbon cycle is increasingly understood, the cumulative impacts of fisheries and climate change on this pathway remain overlooked. {H}ere, using a marine ecosystem model, we estimate that each degree of warming reduces macrofauna biomass and carbon export by 4.2% and 2.46%, respectively. {U}nder a high emission scenario ({SSP} 5-8.5), this translates to a 13.5% +/- 6.6% decline in export by 2100, relative to the 1990s. {F}ishing further amplifies this reduction by up to 56.7% +/- 16.3%, creating a sequestration deficit of 14.6 +/- 10.3 {G}t{C} by 2100. {O}n average, a 1% biomass loss from fishing results in a 0.8% decline in carbon export. {H}owever, sequestration durability (similar to 600 years) remains unaffected. {W}hile measures restoring commercial macrofaunal biomass could yield carbon benefits comparable to mangrove restoration, multiple uncertainties limit their inclusion in the {N}ature-based {C}limate {S}olution portfolio, highlighting the need for further research.},
