Similar to fresh- and brackish water aquaculture ponds, commercial shrimp farming in degraded saline areas holds the potential bury carbon (C) sediments. However, studies on mechanisms of sediment C dynamics C-flux response inland management practices are still scarce. Therefore, objectives present study quantify burial rate ponds assess impact sensitive fractions bottom ponds. The samples (n =...
