Table 1 Descriptive statistics calculated for pCO2 and water-air CO2 fluxes using data at per-minute resolution of each estuary type, disturbance group, and in the disturbance groups within each estuary type

From: High carbon dioxide emissions from Australian estuaries driven by geomorphology and climate
