Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) links terrestrial and marine systems, but has often
been overlooked in coastal nutrient budgets because it is difficult to quantify. In this Review …

Climate projections suggest–with substantial certainty–that global warming> 1.5° C will
occur by mid-century (2050). Population is also projected to increase, amplifying the …

Eutrophication is a complex process and often associated with not only a change in overall
algal biomass but also with a change in biodiversity. Common metrics of eutrophication (eg …

We estimate the global anthropogenic phosphorus (P) loads to freshwater and the
associated grey water footprints (GWFs) for the period 2002–2010, at a spatial resolution of …

Global-scale variation in mangrove ecosystem properties has been explained using a
conceptual framework linking geomorphological processes to distinct coastal environmental …

Eutrophication in coastal waters caused by excess nutrient inputs has occurred widely on a
global scale. Due to the rapid economic development over the last four decades, most of the …

More than 70,000 large dams have been built worldwide. With growing water stress and
demand for energy, this number will continue to increase in the foreseeable future …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere from running waters are estimated to be
four times greater than the total carbon (C) flux to the oceans. However, these fluxes remain …

Rivers are a key component of the global carbon cycle. They receive vast quantities of
terrestrial carbon, of which a large fraction is ultimately exported to the coastal ocean. Our …

Because freshwater covers such a small fraction of the Earth's surface area, inland
freshwater ecosystems (particularly lakes, rivers, and reservoirs) have rarely been …
