Carbon and alkalinity outwelling across the groundwater‐creek‐shelf continuum off Amazonian mangroves

Abstract Lateral fluxes (i.e., outwelling) of dissolved organic (DOC) and inorganic (DIC) carbon and total alkalinity were estimated using radium isotopes at the groundwater, mangrove creek, and continental shelf scales in the Amazon region. Observations of salinity and radium isotopes in the creek...
