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 …

Abstract The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) has experienced atmospheric warming,
cryosphere thaw and intensified human activities since the 1970s. These changes have had …

Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas and its concentrations have tripled in the
atmosphere since the industrial revolution. There is evidence that global warming has …

Abstract China has 6.6 million km2 of drylands that support approximately 580 million
people. These drylands are at risk of desertification. In this Review, the changes observed in …

ES 6: 3-5 Replace “It is unequivocal that emissions of the well-mixed greenhouse gases
(GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2 O) from human activities …

Carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from inland waters is an important component of the global
carbon cycle. However, it remains unknown how global change affects CO2 emissions over …

Inland waters (rivers, reservoirs, lakes, ponds, streams) and estuaries are significant emitters
of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere, while global estimates of …

Eutrophic lakes, especially shallow eutrophic lakes, disproportionately contribute to
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To investigate the effects of eutrophication on GHG …

Understanding methane (CH4) emission from thermokarst lakes is crucial for predicting the
impacts of abrupt thaw on the permafrost carbon-climate feedback. However, observational …

Municipal wastewater treatment plays an indispensable role in enhancing water quality by
eliminating contaminants. While the process is vital, its environmental footprint, especially in …
