High Methane Emissions from a Midlatitude Reservoir Draining an Agricultural Watershed
Jake J. Beaulieu,Rebecca L. Smolenski,Rebecca L. Smolenski,Christopher T. Nietch,Amy Townsend-Small,Michael S. Elovitz +5 more
TL;DR: It is estimated thatCH4 emissions from agricultural reservoirs could be a significant component of anthropogenic CH4 emissions in the U.S.A.

Hydropower's Biogenic Carbon Footprint.
Laura Scherer,Stephan Pfister +1 more
TL;DR: The carbon footprint of hydropower is far higher than previously assumed, with a global average of 173 kg CO2 and 2.95 kg CH4 emitted per MWh of electricity produced, but this is still below that of fossil energy sources without the use of carbon capture and sequestration technologies.

The Taihu Eddy Flux Network: An Observational Program on Energy, Water, and Greenhouse Gas Fluxes of a Large Freshwater Lake
Xuhui Lee,Shoudong Liu,Wei Xiao,Wei Wang,Zhiqiu Gao,Chang Cao,Cheng Hu,Zhenghua Hu,Shuanghe Shen,Yongwei Wang,Xuefa Wen,Qitao Xiao,Jiaping Xu,Jinbiao Yang,Mi Zhang +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, an eddy covariance (EC) mesonet on Lake Taihu, a large (area 2400 km2) and shallow (depth 2 m) lake situated in the heavily populated Yangtze River Delta, China, is described.

Temperate reservoirs are large carbon sinks and small CO2 sources: Results from high‐resolution carbon budgets
Lesley B. Knoll,Michael J. Vanni,William H. Renwick,Elizabeth K. Dittman,Elizabeth K. Dittman,Jessica A. Gephart,Jessica A. Gephart +6 more
TL;DR: This paper quantified C fluxes in two hard-water, human constructed reservoirs (Ohio, USA) of contrasting watershed land use (agriculture vs. forest) using high-resolution mass balance budgets.

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.
