Geochemical data and graphic logs show the effects of tidal pumping and biogeochemical processes on aragonite saturation. Additional logs from cores without porewater sampling are shown in Supplementary Fig. 2 and Supplementary Fig. 3. Evap. = evaporation, ALK = alkalinity, V-PDB = Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite. a Core VC-01, situated in low supratidal mats on the flank of the eolian grainstone berm. b Core VC-03, located in intertidal polygonal mats near a mangrove thicket. c Core VC-04, situated in a subtidal, muddy Batophora algae patch.
