Inclusion of condition in natural capital assessments is critical to the implementation of marine nature-based solutions.
(2022)Current approaches to measure ecosystem services (ES) within natural capital (NC) and nature-based solutions (NbS) assessments are generally coarse, often using a single figure for ecosystem services (e.g., nutrient ... -
Conventional sampling methods severely underestimate phytoplankton species richness.
(2014)Conventional methods for the estimation of marine phytoplankton diversity include the collection of a small volume of seawater which is analysed under the microscope. We sampled natural communities and also synthetic ... -
