Plumbing the Global Carbon Cycle: Integrating Inland Waters into the Terrestrial Carbon Budget
Jonathan J. Cole,Yves T. Prairie,Nina F. Caraco,William H. McDowell,Lars J. Tranvik,Robert G. Striegl,Carlos M. Duarte,Pirkko Kortelainen,John A. Downing,Jack J. Middelburg,John M. Melack +10 more
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
The boundless carbon cycle
Tom J. Battin,Tom J. Battin,Sebastiaan Luyssaert,Louis A. Kaplan,Anthony K. Aufdenkampe,Andreas Richter,Lars J. Tranvik +6 more
TL;DR: The terrestrial biosphere is assumed to take up most of the carbon on land, but it is becoming clear that inland waters process large amounts of organic carbon and must be considered in strategies to mitigate climate change as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freshwater Methane Emissions Offset the Continental Carbon Sink
TL;DR: The continental GHG sink may be considerably overestimated, and freshwaters need to be recognized as important in the global carbon cycle.
