Despite the small continental coverage of lakes, they are hotspots of carbon cycling, largely
due to the processing of terrestrially derived dissolved organic matter (DOM). As DOM is an …

The loss of organic carbon during passage through the continuum of inland waters from
soils to the sea is a critical component of the global carbon cycle,,. Yet, the amount of …

The ecosystem approach to ecology treats organisms and the physical elements of their
environment as components of a single, integrated system. This comprehensive textbook …

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 …
