Conceptual diagram showing the high CO2 emissions from the high retention upper estuaries decreasing towards the well flushed lower estuary, with emissions changing from a source to a sink of CO2 after a heavy rainfall event stimulated by the excess nutrient runoff from the highly urbanised catchment.
