Development of a life cycle impact assessment framework accounting for biodiversity in deep seafloor ecosystems: A case study on the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone

The transformation of ecosystems is understood to be a main driver of biodiversity loss. Consequently, supporting instruments comparable to life cycle assessment strategies (LCA) embody this facet in the analysis of a product’s environmental efficiency. Such strategies consist of quantifying enter and output flows to evaluate their particular contributions to impact classes. Therefore, land occupation … Read more
