a Sediment trap mass deposition rate (left bar in each site pair; left axis) and sediment trap percent organic carbon content (right stippled bar in each site pair; right axis). b Sediment trap mass deposition rate versus average peak tidal velocity \(\overline{{U}_{1,{{{\rm{peak}}}}}}\). Sediment organic carbon Corg stocks in the top 27 g cm−2 of sediment cores c at each station and d versus average peak tidal velocity \(\bar{{U}_{1,{{{\rm{peak}}}}}}\). Vertical error bars represent standard errors. Green and brown bars and symbols denote vegetated and bare sites, respectively.
