Recent inorganic carbon increase in a temperate estuary driven by water quality improvement and enhanced by droughts

Abstract µ mol kg- 1 - 1 µ mol kg- 1 - 1 ± 3  s- 1 ± 3  s- 1 ± - 1 - 1 2) evasion. Export of DIC to coastal waters decreased significantly during the drought, on average by 24 % (2014–2020: 38 ± - 1 2 flux during the drought. We have identified that seasonal changes in DIC processing in an estuary require consideration when estimating both the long-term and future changes in water–air CO2 flux and DIC export to coastal waters. Regional and global carbon budgets should therefore take into account carbon cycling estimates in estuaries, as well as their changes over time in relation to impacts of water quality changes and extreme hydrological events.
