Evaluating the status and prospects of blue carbon in Ireland and the North-East Atlantic
APPROVED Since its conception in 2011, the concept of blue carbon has been valuable to focus the field of ecosystem services on carbon sequestration by marine macrophytic communities, which has been historically overlooked. In this thesis, three studies investigate the status and prospects of blue c...
