TL;DR: A global survey covering 196 dry inland waters shows that their CO2 emissions share fundamental drivers and constitute a substantial fraction of the carbon cycled by inland waters, increasing current inland water carbon flux estimates by 6%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the global carbon emissions from reservoirs were assessed by apportioning CO2 and methane emissions to water surfaces and drawdown areas using published areal emission rates, showing that reservoirs emit more carbon than they bury, challenging the current understanding that reservoirs are net carbon sinks.

TL;DR: Collaborative writing with multiple authors has additional challenges, including varied levels of engagement of coauthors, provision of fair credit through authorship or acknowledgements, acceptance of a diversity of work styles, and the need for clear communication.

TL;DR: A research agenda is proposed to build an inventory of human-made aquatic ecosystems, support and advance research to further the understanding of the role of these systems in local and global biogeochemical cycles as well as to identify other benefits for society.

TL;DR: Inland surface waters (i.e., lakes, reservoirs, running waters, and wetlands) are highly valued ecosystems as discussed by the authors and are greatly relevant to global biodiversity [2].
