Short summary
As the Greenland Ice Sheet retreats, it is crucial to understand how this affects carbon burial in fjords. Comparing a fjord influenced by marine-terminating glaciers with one fed by a land-terminating glacier shows that high productivity near marine-terminating glaciers does not necessarily enhance carbon burial. Instead, the complex interplay of physical, biological, and sedimentary processes governs fjord carbon dynamics.
