This study assessed the sediment organic carbon stocks and accumulation rates within the largest African estuarine lake, which is currently transitioning to a freshwater system dominated by the common reed Phragmites australis. Cores were collected from 8 sites within the estuary. Sediment cores were analyzed for organic carbon, particle size, moisture content, organic matter, dry bulk density.
