Abstract
A high-resolution echosounder was used to acquire seismo-acoustic records of P. oceanica dead matte patches in the Gulf of Palermo. Seismo-acoustic profiling enabled detection of dead matte structures that are invisible to visual inspection, being hidden by variable layers of sandy sediment. The thickness of the dead matte measured reaches a maximum of 2.2 m. The mean volume of the matte per unit area of seabed surface (MEIx) varies from 0.2 to 2.2 m 3 /m 2 , with an average value of 1.6 m 3 /m 2 and a total volume estimated at 73,000 m 3 . From literature data and from the volume of dead matte calculated in the present work we estimated that total carbon accumulated in the matte is about 2,484 tons. Seismo-acoustic technologies proves to be a powerful, non-destructive method to measure the thickness, extension, volume of dead matte and its potential carbon content.

The most common thematic areas covered by the Journal include:
-land use/land cover
-geology, earth and geoscience
-agriculture and forestry
-geography and landscape
-ecology and environmental science
-support to land management
-hydrology and water resources
-atmosphere and meteorology
-oceanography
-new sensor systems, missions and software/algorithms
-pre processing/calibration
-classifications
-time series/change analysis
-data integration/merging/fusion
-image processing and analysis
-modelling
European Journal of Remote Sensing is a fully open access journal. This means all submitted articles will, if accepted, be available for anyone to read anywhere, at any time, immediately on publication. There are no charges for submission to this journal.
