Short summary
Coastal seas play a key role in the global carbon cycle, yet what drives their carbonate chemistry remains poorly understood. We measured pH at high frequency for a year at the Wadden Sea-North Sea interface. Biological activity drives pH changes, while freshwater inflow shapes total alkalinity. Both processes influence dissolved inorganic carbon. The Wadden Sea acts as a net carbon dioxide source to the atmosphere. High-frequency monitoring is essential under a changing climate.
