Environmental DNA (eDNA) is a promising tool for investigating the role of macroalgae inblue carbon sequestration. This dissertation uses a newly designed rbcL primer to examine whether eDNA can provide insights into the organic carbon contributions of macroalgae in...
Purple Dewplant Management Techniques: The Effectiveness of Removal and Impacts on Native Flora Regrowth, in the Coastal Sand Dunes of Jersey, Channel Islands
Coastal sand dune systems are one of the most rare and natural remaining ecosystem types on Europe. The dynamism created by variable climate and influx of sand creates a diverse mosaic of habitat which favour a small diversity of specialised species. The British Isles...
A consideration of small marine gulfs as biogeographic habitat islands using a case study of the Normano-Breton Gulf
The study of marine habitat islands is mostly limited to distinct, offshore spaces that fit the geographic assumptions of the terrestrial island model. This study considered the validity of coastal gulfs as marine habitat islands within the context of the biogeography...
Assessing the distribution and future introduction probability of macroalgae in the English Channel Islands.
When species are brought by humans to environments they are not naturally found in, they are designated as introduced or invasive depending on whether they have a harmful impact. Invasive species- and specifically invasive algae- can have adverse effects on their new...
