Carbon budget and blue carbon stores - Predicted kelp habitat (P>20% cover) - SNH Commissioned Report 761 - August 2014
This map layer has been supplied directly by Marine Scotland National Marine Plan interactive. You can obtain additional information about the layer on this page
This layer is part of the Carbon Budget and Blue Carbon Stores dataset, which describes the picture of the carbon budgets and potential for blue (i.e. within coastal or near-shore habitats) carbon stores in Scotland's seas. It displays the predicted kelp habitat in Scottish sea areas regions based on relationships between MNCR kelp abundance data and underlying habitat predictors .
The data has been derived from figure 5 of SNH commissioned report no 761. Burrows M.T., Kamenos N.A., Hughes D.J., Stahl H., Howe J.A. & Tett P. 2014. Assessment of carbon budgets and potential blue carbon stores in Scotland’s coastal and marine environment. Scottish Natural Heritage Commissioned Report No. 761.
