  abstract = {{T}he {A}rcachon lagoon is a 156 km(2) temperate mesotidal lagoon dominated by tidal flats (66% of the surface area). {T}he methane ({CH}4) sources, sinks and fluxes were estimated from water and pore water concentrations, from chamber flux measurements at the sediment air (low tide), sediment-water and water-air (high tide) interfaces, and from potential oxidation and production rate measurements in sediments. {CH}4 concentrations in waters were maximal (500-1000 nmol l(-1)) in river waters and in tidal creeks at low tide, and minimal in the lagoon at high tide (<50 nmol l(-1)). {T}he major {CH}4 sources are continental waters and the tidal pumping of sediment pore waters at low tide. {M}ethanogenesis occurred in the tidal flat sediments, in which pore water concentrations were relatively high (2.5-8.0 mu mol l(-1)) {N}evertheless, the sediment was a minor {CH}4 source for the water column and the atmosphere because of a high degree of anaerobic and aerobic {CH}4 oxidation in sediments. {A}tmospheric {CH}4 fluxes at high and low tide were low compared to freshwater wetlands. {T}emperate tidal lagoons appear to be very minor contributor of {CH}4 to global atmosphere and to open ocean.},
