Anthropogenically driven climate and landscape change effects on inland water carbon dynamics: What have we learned and where are we going?
Inland waters serve as important hydrological connections between the terrestrial landscape
and oceans but are often overlooked in global carbon (C) budgets and Earth System …

Global CO2 emissions from dry inland waters share common drivers across ecosystems
Many inland waters exhibit complete or partial desiccation, or have vanished due to global
change, exposing sediments to the atmosphere. Yet, data on carbon dioxide (CO2) …

[HTML][HTML] Emissions from dry inland waters are a blind spot in the global carbon cycle
A large part of the world's inland waters, including streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and
reservoirs is subject to occasional, recurrent or even permanent drying. Moreover, the …
