Drivers and trajectories of land cover change in East Africa: Human and environmental interactions from 6000 years ago to present
East African landscapes today are the result of the cumulative effects of climate and land-
use change over millennial timescales. In this review, we compile archaeological and …

Anthropogenic alteration of nutrient supply increases the global freshwater carbon sink
Lakes have a disproportionate effect on the global carbon (C) cycle relative to their area,
mediating C transfer from land to atmosphere, and burying organic-C in their sediments. The …
