UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology 
Our saltmarsh research on the Ribble Estuary includes measurements of greenhouse gas fluxes, analysis of soil cores, and measurements of tidal water flowing into the saltmarsh. Our video shows a floating pH logger on the estuary at spring tide and neap tide and the installation of a flux tower.
All this monitoring will contribute to the first full carbon balance of a saltmarsh. This will provide key data for future incorporation into the UK GHG inventory and development of a UK Saltmarsh Carbon Code. The research platform on the Ribble Estuary is funded by WWF-UK and Aviva.
