A blueprint for national assessments of the blue carbon capacity of kelp forests applied to Canada’s coastline
Abstract Kelp forests offer substantial carbon fixation, with the potential to contribute to natural climate solutions (NCS). However, to be included in national NCS inventories, governments must first quantify the kelp-derived carbon stocks and fluxes leading to carbon sequestration. Here, we prese...
