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.

Principles of Terrestrial Ecosystem Ecology
TL;DR: In this paper, the Ecosystem Concept is used to describe the Earth's Climate System and Geology and Soils, and the ecosystem concept is used for managing and sustaining ecosystems.

Fragmentation and flow regulation of the world's large river systems
Christer Nilsson,Christer Nilsson,Catherine A. Reidy,Catherine A. Reidy,Mats Dynesius,Mats Dynesius,Carmen Revenga,Carmen Revenga +7 more
TL;DR: A global overview of dam-based impacts on large river systems shows that over half (172 out of 292) are affected by dams, including the eight most biogeographically diverse catchments, which can be used to identify ecological risks associated with further impacts onLarge river systems.

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.

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 Dioxide Supersaturation in the Surface Waters of Lakes
TL;DR: Lakes are a small but potentially important conduit for carbon from terrestrial sources to the atmospheric sink, and the potential efflux of CO2 from lakes is about half as large as riverine transport of organic plus inorganic carbon to the ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemistry, An Analysis of Global Change
TL;DR: The first edition of Schlesinger's Biogeochemistry in 1991 was an early entry in the field of Earth system science/global change, and has since gained sufficient popularity and demand to merit a second, extensively revised edition.

Changes in the carbon balance of tropical forests: evidence from long-term plots
Oliver L. Phillips,Yadvinder Malhi,Niro Higuchi,William F. Laurance,Percy Nuñez,R. Vásquez,Susan G. Laurance,Leandro Valle Ferreira,Margaret Stern,Sandra Brown,John Grace +10 more
TL;DR: Long-term monitoring of plots in mature humid tropical forests concentrated in South America revealed that biomass gain by tree growth exceeded losses from tree death in 38 of 50 Neotropical sites, suggesting that Neotropic forests may be a significant carbon sink.

Atmospheric exchange of carbon dioxide in a low-wind oligotrophic lake measured by the addition of SF6
Jonathan J. Cole,Nina F. Caraco +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the gas transfer coefficient (k) of the surface waters of Mirror Lake, New Hampshire, and found that k was better correlated to precipitation events than it was to wind speed.

A Large Terrestrial Carbon Sink in North America Implied by Atmospheric and Oceanic Carbon Dioxide Data and Models
Song-Miao Fan,M. Gloor,J. D. Mahlman,Stephen W. Pacala,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Taro Takahashi,Pieter P. Tans +6 more
TL;DR: The spatial distribution of the terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake is estimated by means of the observed spatial patterns of the greatly increased atmospheric carbon dioxide data set available from 1988 onward, together with two atmospheric transport models, two estimates of the sea-air flux, and an estimate of the spatial distributed of fossil carbon dioxide emissions.
