Methane fluxes at the sediment-water interface in some boreal lakes and reservoirs
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the CH 4 fluxes at the sediment-water interface in six lakes and two reservoirs in Finland and found that the increased CH 4 concentration in water column close to sediment is an indicator of serious oxygen depletion within sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cumulative impacts of small reservoirs on hydrology: A review.
TL;DR: A review of the studies that address the cumulative impacts of small reservoirs on hydrology, focusing on the methodology and on the way in which these impacts are assessed, shows that similar densities of small reservoir can lead to different impacts on stream discharge in different regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dynamics of river corridors and the effects of human alterations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a conceptual model of carbon dynamics within a river corridor, which includes the active channel and the riparian zone, and showed that the morphology and processes of a river channel regulate the ability to store, transform, and transport organic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Importance of the autumn overturn and anoxic conditions in the hypolimnion for the annual methane emissions from a temperate lake.
TL;DR: The authors' results provide evidence that not all of the stored methane is released to the atmosphere during the overturn period, however, the fraction of stored methane emitted to the sky during overturn may be substantially larger and the fractionof stored methane oxidized may be smaller than in the previous studies suggesting high oxidation losses of methane.

Estimating greenhouse gas emissions from future Amazonian hydroelectric reservoirs
Felipe A.M. de Faria,Paulina Jaramillo,Henrique O. Sawakuchi,Jeffrey E. Richey,Nathan Barros +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, two different approaches are presented to investigate the future carbon balance of eighteen new reservoirs in the Amazon basin, based on a degradation model of flooded carbon stock, while the second approach is based on flux data measured in Amazonian rivers and reservoirs.

Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change
TL;DR: The most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment available for scientific understanding of human influences on the past present and future climate is "Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change" as mentioned in this paper.
Book
Biogeochemistry : An Analysis of Global Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a perspective of the global cycle of nitrogen and phosphorous, the global water cycle, and the global sulfur cycle from a global point of view.
Journal ArticleDOI
Northern Peatlands: Role in the Carbon Cycle and Probable Responses to Climatic Warming.
TL;DR: Satellite-monitoring of the abundance of open water in the peatlands of the West Siberian Plain and the Hudson/James Bay Lowland is suggested as a likely method of detecting early effects of climatic warming upon boreal and subarctic peatland environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flux of Gases across the Air-Sea Interface
Peter S. Liss,P. G. Slater +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of a two-layer model to estimate the flux of various gases across the air-sea interface has been described, and the model has been used to estimate flux of different gases across different regions of the world.
Book
Water in crisis: a guide to the world's fresh water resources
TL;DR: In this article, an introduction to global fresh water issues is presented. But the authors focus on water quality and health, not just water quality, and do not address the issues of water management and economic development.
