Abstract With the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), there is a growing public and scientific concern over the carbon sequestration potential of various ecosystems, especially wetlands. Investigating the spatial and vertical patterns of wetland sediment organic carbon concentration (SOC) is important for understanding the regional carbon cycle, the impact on sediment quality and global climate change, and managing the wetland ecosystem. This study combines geographical information system (GIS) and sediment analysis to identify spatial variation in sediment carbon storage in Lake Edku. Lake Edku is a coastal wetland located in the north of the Nile Delta. |
