Organic carbon burial in global lakes and reservoirs
R Mendonça, RA Müller, D Clow, C Verpoorter… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Burial in sediments removes organic carbon (OC) from the short-term biosphere-atmosphere
carbon (C) cycle, and therefore prevents greenhouse gas production in natural systems …
