River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean
and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in the global carbon cycle …

Mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation drive much of the variation in
productivity across Earth's terrestrial ecosystems but do not explain variation in gross …

Many of the world's rivers are ice‐covered during winter months but increasing evidence
indicates that the extent of river ice will shift substantially as winters warm. However, our …

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 …

Hypoxia in coastal waters and lakes is widely recognized as a detrimental environmental
issue, yet we lack a comparable understanding of hypoxia in rivers. We investigated controls …

Recent advances in high‐frequency environmental sensing and statistical approaches have
greatly expanded the breadth of knowledge regarding aquatic ecosystem metabolism—the …

Although time series in ecosystem metabolism are well characterized in small and medium
rivers, patterns in the world's largest rivers are almost unknown. Large rivers present …

The estimation of whole stream metabolism, as determined by photosynthesis and
respiration, is critical to our understanding of carbon cycling and carbon subsidies to aquatic …

Stream dissolved oxygen (DO) dynamics are an outcome of metabolic activity and
subsequently regulate ecosystem functions such as in‐stream solute and sediment …

Boreal forests account for 30% of the world's total forest cover and in many places are
subject to intensive forest management, which often involves complete removal of overstory …
