With only about 80 species of true mangrove trees worldwide, mangrove ecosystems comprise a relatively low number of habitat-forming tree species, but a high diversity of decomposer, detritivorous and consumer species. Although the overall level of d... Read More about Biodiversity.

Carbon storage in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya (2017)
Journal Article
Githaiga, M. N., Kairo, J. G., Njoroge Githaiga, M., Gitundu, K., Gilpin, L., & Huxham, M. (2017). Carbon storage in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya. PLOS ONE, 12(5), Article e0177001. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0177001

Vegetated marine habitats are globally important carbon sinks, making a significant contribution towards mitigating climate change, and they provide a wide range of other ecosystem services. However, large gaps in knowledge remain, particularly for s... Read More about Carbon storage in the seagrass meadows of Gazi Bay, Kenya.

Fife Local Energy Masterplan (2017)
Report
Payne, C., Bell, C., Steen, P., Currie, J., Bros Williamson, J., Stinson, J., & Muschamp, H. (2017). Fife Local Energy Masterplan. Burntisland: Fife Council

The way we generate and use energy has constantly changed. In recent decades it has become the role of the National Grid, gas network, and multinational energy companies to deliver nearly all the energy: heat, electricity and transport fuels. We inte...

Assessing the role of intertidal seagrasses as coastal carbon sinks in Scotland (2017)
Thesis
Potouroglou, M. Assessing the role of intertidal seagrasses as coastal carbon sinks in Scotland. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/975386

Seagrasses are marine foundation species that form ecologically important habitats in coastal areas around the world. They provide a range of ecosystem services, including coastal protection and the recently recognised large contribution to global ca...
