Coastal marine megaripple fields are metabolic hotspots with highly dynamic oxygen exchange
Abstract Megaripples are current‐generated seafloor bedforms of well‐sorted sand or gravel and wavelengths over 1 m. In this aquatic eddy covariance study, we measured large rates of benthic primary production and respiration for a shallow‐water sandy megaripple field exposed to strong tidally drive...
