Abstract Policies aiming to preserve vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCE; tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrasses) mitigate greenhouse gas emissions require national assessments of blue carbon resources. Here, we present organic (C) storage in VCE across Australian climate regions estimate potential annual CO 2 emission benefits conservation restoration. Australia contributes 5–11% the C stored globally (70–185 Tg aboveground biomass, 1,055–1,540 upper 1 m soils). Potential from current losses...
The behavior of light at the air/water interface has substantial effects on quality vertical, or nadir-looking imagery used to interpret subsurface features for purposes such as marine habitat mapping. Reflection direct solar beam into sensor by waves surface water creates bright glints, which obscure bottom interest. Sun angle, refraction, and reflection affect amount illumination shadowing features. Simple interpretations these sea are made with sufficient accuracy improve planning...
Coastal saltmarshes are reputed to be one of the most vulnerable communities global warming, with widespread evidence retreat and movement lower marsh vegetation into areas previously occupied by upper in response rising sea levels, potential changes community composition from rainfall, temperature wind. We undertook an investigation decades scale change distributions saltmarsh defined dominant species, using historic maps, remote sensing imagery extensive field data collection. Our study...
Research on the late Pleistocene and Holocene environment archaeology of upper Kennet valley, north Wiltshire, is described. In concentrating work in valley bottom, main aims were: (1) to see if there was a record there, so detail it; (2) redress brasses research towards visible slopes plateaus their environmental record. Soils sediments with biological archaeological materials covered present and, dating by 14 C thermoluminescence, enabled history human activity be established. The...
Monitoring seagrass habitats is required by many agencies and jurisdictions including Natural Resource Management (NRM) regions in Australia. Baseline mapping of proceeding Tasmania, Australia the next stage will be to conduct regular monitoring extent condition. This paper presents a summary results recent research that addressed outstanding issues reliable measurement condition with optical remote sensing. The enable proposal new methodology based on sampling "mega‐quadrats" (around 200 m...
Abstract. Describing and classifying a landscape for environmental impact risk assessment purposes is non-trivial challenge because this requires region-specific classifications that cater impacts. Assessing impacts on ecosystems from the extraction of water resources across large regions causal link between features their requirements. We present rationale implementation an ecohydrological classification where coal mine seam gas developments may water. Our provides essential framework...
