The role of soil erosion in terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration and release remains one of
the most important uncertainties in our attempts to determine the potential of soils to mediate …

Terrestrial plant biomarkers and their carbon isotopes provide insights into carbon cycling,
paleovegetation and paleoclimate, ranging in scale from local to global. Over the past …

The balance between photosynthetic organic carbon production and respiration controls
atmospheric composition and climate,. The majority of organic carbon is respired back to …

Riverine export of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the ocean affects the atmospheric
carbon inventory over a broad range of timescales,,,,. On geological timescales, the balance …

The purpose of this review is to highlight progress in unraveling carbon cycling dynamics
across the continuum of landscapes, inland waters, coastal oceans, and the atmosphere …

Rivers transfer terrestrial organic carbon (OC) from mountains to ocean basins, playing a
key role in the global carbon cycle. During fluvial transit, OC may be oxidized and emitted to …

Terrestrial vegetation and soils hold three times more carbon than the atmosphere. Much
debate concerns how anthropogenic activity will perturb these surface reservoirs, potentially …

The recent decline in Horn of Africa rainfall during the March–May “long rains” season has
fomented drought and famine, threatening food security in an already vulnerable region …

Floodplains perform diverse functions, including attenuation of fluxes of water, solutes, and
particulate material. Critical details of floodplain storage including magnitude, duration, and …

Large world rivers are significant sources of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to the oceans.
