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
Lars J. Tranvik,John A. Downing,James B. Cotner,Steven Loiselle,Robert G. Striegl,Thomas J. Ballatore,Peter J. Dillon,Kerri Finlay,Kenneth Fortino,Lesley B. Knoll,Pirkko Kortelainen,Tiitt Kutser,Soren H. H. Larsen,Isabelle Laurion,Dina M. Leech,S. Leigh McCallister,Diane M. McKnight,John M. Melack,Erin P. Overholt,Jason A. Porter,Yves T. Prairie,William H. Renwick,Fábio Roland,Bradford Sherman,David W. Schindler,Sebastian Sobek,Alain Tremblay,Michael J. Vanni,Antoine M. Verschoor,Eddie von Wachenfeldt,Gesa A. Weyhenmeyer +30 more
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
Carbon emission from hydroelectric reservoirs linked to reservoir age and latitude
Nathan Barros,Jonathan J. Cole,Lars J. Tranvik,Yves T. Prairie,David Bastviken,Vera L. M. Huszar,Paul A. del Giorgio,Fábio Roland +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the importance of hydropower reservoirs and their role in the formation of the world's largest reservoir network, covering an area of 3.4 x 10.5 km(2) and comprising about 20% of all reservoirs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sediment organic carbon burial in agriculturally eutrophic impoundments over the last century
John A. Downing,John A. Downing,Jonathan J. Cole,Jack J. Middelburg,Robert G. Striegl,Carlos M. Duarte,Pirkko Kortelainen,Yves T. Prairie,K.A. Laube +8 more
TL;DR: This paper showed that farm ponds alone may bury 4 times as much carbon (C) as the world oceans and 33% of the world's rivers deliver to the sea, and suggested that OC sequestration in moderate to large impoundments may be double the rate assumed in previous analyses.
