Quantitatively assessing the porewater dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) cycling in methane-enriched marine sediments is crucial to understanding the contributions of different carbon sources to the global marine carbon pool. In this study, Makran accretionary wedge was divided into Zone 1 (high methane flux area) and Zone 2 (background area). Porewater geochemical compositions (Cl – , SO 4 2– , NH 4 + , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Ba 2+ ,...
