- W4322006955 abstract "The surficial 10 cm of Scotland’s saltmarshes are estimated to store 1.35 ± 0.33 Mt CO2 equivalent, approximately 3.37% of Scotland’s national greenhouse gas emissions in 20201,2. This is largely achieved through effective preservation of organic matter (OM) in low oxygen, sulphidic soils1. Saltmarshes gain organic carbon (OC) through in-situ (autochthonous) production by vegetation and benthic microalgae, and the accumulation of marine and terrestrial material during tidal inundation (allochthonous)3.A key blue carbon challenge is to empirically understand, under current and predicted warmer conditions, the sources of OC accreted into and respired from saltmarshes. This can determine the proportion of the total OC pool which is additional through in-situ sequestration or from increased preservation of allochthonous OM3. Alongside 13C and 15N isotopes, radiocarbon (14C) analysis/dating can be used to determine the sources of saltmarsh surficial soil OC4.We hypothesise that at ambient temperatures the younger and more labile, and predominantly autochthonous OM, will be preferentially decomposed.  But at elevated temperatures the aged, and predominantly allochthonous, OM pool will increasingly contribute to the respired greenhouse gases.To test this hypothesis, we collected soil cores and surficial sediment samples from three contrasting Scottish saltmarshes. We analysed them for 14C to gain an understanding of the age and sources of the autochthonous and allochthonous OM accumulating. We also aerobically incubated sub-samples of the soil in temperature-controlled experiments at 11.1 ± 1°C (ambient) and 20 ± 1°C (elevated). The evolved CO2 was collected on molecular sieve traps and analysed for 14C content/age.Our results will facilitate comparison of the age of the bulk OM and the respired CO2 to the thermogravimetrically measured reactivity of the OM determined using the recently developed Carbon Reactivity Index5. We will present our findings and introduce our ongoing work on anaerobic incubations of the same soils, which includes the novel measurement of the evolved 14CH4.Our research contributes to a growing evidence base for emissions from saltmarshes, and the sources of OC accreting in their soils, which is vital for understanding how they cycle carbon and their ability to mitigate climate change. It will contribute to the creation of saltmarsh carbon cycle models and inform work to include saltmarshes in the UK’s Nationally Determined Contributions.ReferencesSmeaton C, Burden A, Ruranska P, et al.
