Shoreface erosion counters blue carbon accumulation in transgressive barrier-island systems - Nature Communications

|
By Christopher J. Hein, Matthew L. Kirwan, Mary Bryan Barksdale
| Nature Verified
Abstract Landward migration of coastal ecosystems in response to sea-level rise is altering coastal carbon dynamics. Although such landscapes rapidly accumulate soil carbon, barrier-island migration jeopardizes long-term storage through burial and exposure of organic-rich backbarrier deposits along the lower beach and shoreface. Here, we quantify the carbon flux associated with the seaside erosion of backbarrier lagoon and peat deposits along the Virginia Atlantic Coast.
