A first estimate of the effect of offshore wind farms on sedimentary organic carbon stocks in the Southern North Sea
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) can increase the transfer and stock of organic carbon (OC) in the surrounding sediments during their operational phase, while their construction and decommissioning release carbon. To answer the question whether sediments of OWFs trap more OC than they release, we estimate...
