The impact of sedimentary alkalinity release on the water column CO<sub>2</sub> system in the North Sea

It has been previously proposed that alkalinity release from sediments can play an important role in the carbonate dynamics on continental shelves, lowering the <i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub> of seawater and hence increasing the CO<sub>2</sub> uptake from the atmosphere....
