Global riverine land-to-ocean carbon export constrained by observations and multi-model assessment

M Liu, PA Raymond, R Lauerwald, Q Zhang… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
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 …

Hydrologic connectivity as a framework for understanding biogeochemical flux through watersheds and along fluvial networks

T Covino - Geomorphology, 2017 - Elsevier
Hydrologic connections can link hillslopes to channel networks, streams to lakes, subsurface
