Trait expression of marine benthic assemblages across the UK shelf modelled for the years 1976 to 2020

The data consist of two trait expression datasets described in Bolam, Downie and Cooper (2023). Used in conjunction with a number of raster data layers (see paper for details) and the...

QICS Paper: Response of the ammonia oxidation activity of microorganisms in surface sediment to a controlled sub-seabed release of CO2

The impact of a sub-seabed CO2 leak from geological sequestration on the microbial process of ammonia oxidation was investigated in the field. Sediment samples were taken before, during and after a...
