Porewater profiles of N2O concentrations (in nmol L⁻¹) in Panxón and Ladeira beaches at each month and station. Note that the N2O concentration scale (X‐axis) varies between profiles. Dashed lines represent N2O equilibrium concentrations.

Continental groundwaters are commonly enriched in nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4), which can discharge into the coast. The contribution of this diffuse source to coastal N2O and CH4 emissions largely depends on the biogeochemical processes of coastal aquifer exit zones, known as subterranean estuaries. Here, we study the role of subterranean...
