The Betsiboka was characterized by a relatively high suspended matter load, and in line with this, low DOC/POC ratios (~0.4–2.5). The partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (pCO<sub>2</sub>) was generally above atmospheric equilibrium (270–1530 ppm), but relatively low in comparison to other tropical and subtropical estuaries, resulting in low average CO<sub>2</sub> emission to the atmosphere (9.1 ± 14.2 mmol m<sup>-2</sup> d<sup>-1</sup>). Despite the fact that C4 vegetation is reported to cover >80% of the catchment area, stable isotope data on DOC and POC suggest that C4 derived material comprises only ~30% of both pools in the freshwater zone, increasing to ~60–70% and 50–60%, respectively, in the oligohaline zone due to additional lateral inputs. Sediments from intertidal mangroves in the estuary showed low organic carbon concentrations (<1%) and <em>d</em><sup>13</sup>C values (average -19.8‰) consistent with important inputs of riverine imported C4 material. This contribution was reflected in <em>d</em><sup>13</sup>C signatures of bacterial phospholipid derived fatty acids (i + a15:0), suggesting the potential importance of terrestrial organic matter sources for mineralization and secondary production in coastal ecosystems.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Carbon biogeochemistry of the Betsiboka estuary (north-western Madagascar)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-05-05 01:31:48.538197","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2008,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2015-11-04","DateCreate":"2012-12-07","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000262065600002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.orggeochem.2008.01.010"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":220975,"PubliDate":2008,"Pagination":"1649-1658","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"39","Issue":"12","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":111331,"SerRR":"Organic Geochemistry.
