Methane and nitrous oxide in tidal estuaries
Estuaries contribute significantly (5-10 %) to the marine emission budget of methane and nitrous oxide. During the BIOGEST project we have measured the distribution of these two gases in the water column of nine tidal estuaries. In well-mixed estuaries, methane concentrations were high in the river end-member and initially decreased with increasing salinity, then increased at intermediate or high salinities before decreasing again going offshore. Tidal flats and creeks were identified as a methane sources to estuarine waters. Methane concentrations in river-dominated stratified estuaries were... Mehr ...
