Description
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 percentage carbonate in the top 10cm of superficial sediments, interpolated from BGS sediment records.
The data has been derived from figure 11 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.
