Rates of annual OC flux in the Virginia Barrier Islands (VBI) between 1870 and 2017 C.E. Gray bars for OC erosion rates represent uncertainty propagations for the sum of all island-specific Eq. (1) outputs over each time period. The gray bar for the OC accumulation rate represents uncertainty propagations associated with mapping and soil OC measurements, following ref. 23 (see Supplementary Information).
