Erosion of carbonate-bearing sedimentary rocks may close the alkalinity budget of the Baltic Sea and support atmospheric CO2 uptake in coastal seas
High alkalinity values observed in coastal seas promote the uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere. However, the alkalinity budget of coastal areas and marginal seas is poorly understood, even though some of the recently observed alkalinity enhancement can be ascribed to riverine fluxes and anaerobic pro...
