Inland waters are significant emitters of greenhouse gases for the atmosphere and play an
important role in the global carbon cycle. With a vast land area in East Asia spanning a …

Abstract The China Seas include the South China Sea, East China Sea, Yellow Sea, and
Bohai Sea. Located off the Northwestern Pacific margin, covering 4700000 km 2 from …

Large rivers connect the continents and the oceans, and corresponding material fluxes have
a global impact on marine biogeochemistry. The Yellow River transports vast quantities of …

Carbon is an essential element for plants and plays an important role in terrestrial
ecosystem functions by affecting soil properties and quality. A large percentage of organic …

Rivers serve as regulators of global climate by releasing greenhouse gases, burying
particulate carbon, and connecting different ecosystem carbon pools. However, long-term …

River transport of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the ocean is a crucial but poorly
quantified regional carbon cycle component. Large uncertainties remaining on the riverine …

Water-sediment regulation (WSR) of the **aolangdi Reservoir in the Yellow River is different
from other water conservancy projects, with sediment resuspending along the river …

Today's deltas are impacted negatively by (1) accelerated subsidence (eg, from ground fluid
extraction),(2) global eustatic sea level rise, and (3) decreased sediment supply, which …

Atmospheric inversions use measurements of atmospheric CO2 gradients to constrain
regional surface fluxes. Current inversions indicate a net terrestrial CO2 sink in China …

Compared to rivers in Europe and North America, Chinese rivers that discharge into oceans
have different organic carbon (OC) transport characteristics. Out of the top 25 largest rivers …
