Anaerobic decomposition of tropical soils and plant material: Implication for the CO2 and CH4 budget of the Petit Saut Reservoir

TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of the mineralization of the flooded soils and biomass to these atmospheric gas emissions, field and laboratory experiments were conducted, and the potential CH4 and CO2 production rates were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of river inflow and retention time on the spatial heterogeneity of chlorophyll and water–air CO 2 fluxes in a tropical hydropower reservoir

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between the water-air CO2 fluxes and the phytoplanktonic biomass in the Funil Reservoir, which is an old, stratified tropical reservoir that exhibits intense phyto-stankton blooms and a low partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2).
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of small artificial water bodies as sources of methane emissions in Queensland, Australia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified the total surface area of water bodies in Queensland, Australia, and emission rates from a variety of water body types and size classes, and concluded that small artificial water bodies may be a globally important missing source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon storage and greenhouse gases emission from a fluvial reservoir in an agricultural landscape

TL;DR: The significance of organic carbon (C) burial in fluvial reservoirs on the global C cycle and atmosphere composition remains debatable as mentioned in this paper, while the entrapment of eroded C in these systems could represent an important C sequestration mechanism, this must be weighed against the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) that may evolve in anoxic reservoir sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantification of ebullitive and diffusive methane release to atmosphere from a water storage

TL;DR: In this article, an improved technique has been developed that compliments traditional chamber based experiments to quantify the storage-scale release of methane gas to atmosphere through ebullition using the measurements from an Optical Methane Detector (OMD) and a robotic boat.

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.

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

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.

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.
