Carbon storage by the ocean and by the land is usually quantified separately, and does not
fully take into account the land-to-ocean transport of carbon through inland waters …

Fine-grained muds produced largely from rock weathering at the Earth's surface have great
influence on global carbon cycling. Mud binds and protects organic carbon (OC) from …

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 …

Mountain lakes are often situated in protected natural areas, a feature that leads to their role
as sentinels of global environmental change. Despite variations in latitude, mountain lakes …

The damming of rivers represents one of the most far-reaching human modifications of the
flows of water and associated matter from land to sea. Dam reservoirs are hotspots of …

Climate change and anthropogenic nitrogen deposition are both important ecological
threats. Evaluating their cumulative effects provides a more holistic view of ecosystem …

Limnology, and in particular the study of the aquatic carbon cycle initially focused on lakes
as isolated ecosystems. Later on, investigations followed of lakes as recipients. Current …

Thermokarst lakes formed across vast regions of Siberia and Alaska during the last
deglaciation and are thought to be a net source of atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide …

The eutrophication of lowland lakes in Europe by excess nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is
severe because of the long history of land‐cover change and agricultural intensification. The …

Nearly all freshwaters and coastal zones of the US are degraded from inputs of excess
reactive nitrogen (Nr), sources of which are runoff, atmospheric N deposition, and imported …
