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 …

Streams and rivers form dense networks, shape the Earth's surface and, in their sediments,
provide an immensely large surface area for microbial growth. Biofilms dominate microbial …

We explore the role of lakes in carbon cycling and global climate, examine the mechanisms
influencing carbon pools and transformations in lakes, and discuss how the metabolism of …

The magnitude of stream and river carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is affected by seasonal
changes in watershed biogeochemistry and hydrology. Global estimates of this flux are …

Fifty years of hyporheic zone research have shown the important role played by the
hyporheic zone as an interface between groundwater and surface waters. However, it is only …

Hydrological precipitation and snowmelt events trigger large “pulse” releases of terrestrial
dissolved organic matter (DOM) into drainage networks due to an increase in DOM …

One of the major conundrums in oceanography for the past 20 y has been that, although the
total flux of dissolved organic carbon (OC; DOC) discharged annually to the global ocean …

Northern ecosystems are experiencing some of the most dramatic impacts of global change
on Earth. Rising temperatures, hydrological intensification, changes in atmospheric acid …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from streams and rivers to the atmosphere represents a
substantial flux in the global carbon cycle,,. The proportions of CO2 emitted from streams …
