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.

Comparison of Closed‐Chamber and Bowen‐Ratio Methods for Determining Methane Flux from Peatland Surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared CH 4 flux measurements obtained by using a dosed-chamber soil cover technique and a micrometeorological method (Bowen-ratio Energy Balance [BREB]).

Gas release from a reservoir in the filling stage
Bohdan Matvienko,Elizabeth Sikar,L. Pinguelli Rosa,M. A. dos Santos,R. De Filippo,André C. P. Cimbleris +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas release from a reservoir in the filling stage is described, where the gas is released from the reservoir in order to fill the reservoir, and the reservoir is filled.
