Plumbing the Global Carbon Cycle: Integrating Inland Waters into the Terrestrial Carbon Budget

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of inland water ecosystems in the global carbon cycle has been investigated and it is shown that roughly twice as much C enters inland aquatic systems from land as is exported from land to the sea, roughly equally as inorganic and organic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lakes and reservoirs as regulators of carbon cycling and climate

TL;DR: The role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of carbon in the inland waters is likely to change in response to climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global abundance and size distribution of lakes, ponds, and impoundments
John A. Downing,Yves T. Prairie,Jonathan J. Cole,Carlos M. Duarte,Lars J. Tranvik,Robert G. Striegl,William H. McDowell,Pirkko Kortelainen,Nina F. Caraco,John M. Melack,Jack J. Middelburg +10 more
TL;DR: This article used new data sources, enhanced spatial resolution, and new analytical approaches to provide new estimates of the global abundance of surface-water bodies and showed that the global extent of natural lakes is twice as large as previously known.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outgassing from Amazonian rivers and wetlands as a large tropical source of atmospheric CO2.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the overall carbon budget of rainforests, summed across terrestrial and aquatic environments, appears closer to being in balance than would be inferred from studies of uplands alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Riverine coupling of biogeochemical cycles between land, oceans, and atmosphere
Anthony K. Aufdenkampe,Emilio Mayorga,Peter A. Raymond,John M. Melack,Scott C. Doney,Simone R. Alin,Rolf Aalto,Kyungsoo Yoo +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that carbon dioxide discharged to the oceans is only a fraction of that entering rivers from terrestrial ecosystems via soil respiration, leaching, chemical weathering, and physical erosion.
