Pore‐water exchange flushes blue carbon from intertidal saltmarsh sediments into the sea

Abstract We quantified whether pore‐water exchange flushes out saltmarsh sediment carbon, driving carbon outwelling into the ocean and outgassing into the atmosphere. Radon‐derived pore‐water exchange released 1.8 times more sediment carbon in the wet than in dry season. Both crab burrow flushing an...
