Data for "Identifying priority areas to manage mobile bottom fishing on seabed carbon in the UK"

Associated data and R code for the paper Epstein & Roberts 2022 - Identifying priority areas to manage mobile bottom fishing on seabed carbon in the UK. This repository contains the primary output data from a desk-based investigation of seabed sediment organic carbon (OC) and mobile demeresal fishing in the UKEEZ. Best available published datasets were combined to produce unified maps of predicted seabed OC stocks, mean annual mobile bottom fishing disturbance, mean value of fish landed by mobile bottom fishing, and mean annual cummulative disturbance to seabed carbon from mobile bottom fishing. This data was combined with modeling of estimated fishing displacement to idenitfy priority areas for managmement and/or future research.

本数据集配套了Epstein与Roberts 2022年发表论文《识别英国海域海底碳相关移动底拖捕捞管理优先区域》的相关数据与R语言代码。本仓库收录了针对英国专属经济区（UKEEZ）内海底沉积物有机碳（OC）与移动底栖捕捞开展的案头调研所生成的核心输出数据。研究整合了当前可获取的最优已发表数据集，生成了多幅统一化图谱，涵盖预测海底有机碳储量、年均移动底拖捕捞扰动强度、移动底拖捕捞上岸渔获平均产值，以及移动底拖捕捞对海底碳造成的年均累积扰动。本数据集结合了基于捕捞位移估算的建模结果，用于识别管理优先区域及/或未来研究方向。如需进一步了解方法学细节，请参阅发表于《PLOS气候（PLOS Climate）》的完整论文。
