Sediment drying-rewetting cycles enhance greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient and trace element release, and promote water cytogenotoxicity.

We observed a slightly significant difference in CH 4 emissions between the induced-to-drought and permanently flooded cores during the dry period ( t-Ratio = 2 . 3 , p = 0 . 03 ), caused by the high fluxes registered in the first days after the sediment was completely dry ( Fig 1 ).
