Inland waters are important emitters of the greenhouse gasses (GHGs) carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere. In the framework of the …

Abstract Methane (CH 4), one of the key long-lived atmospheric greenhouse gases, is
primarily produced from organic matter. Accordingly, net primary production of organic …

Atmospheric methane is a potent greenhouse gas that plays a major role in controlling the
Earth's climate. The causes of the renewed increase of methane concentration since 2007 …

Ponds are often identified by their small size and shallow depths, but the lack of a universal
evidence-based definition hampers science and weakens legal protection. Here, we …

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 …

Reservoirs are essential for human populations, but their global carbon footprint is
substantial (0.73–2.41 PgCO2-equivalent yr− 1). Yet the temporal evolution of reservoir …

Collectively, reservoirs constitute a significant global source of C‐based greenhouse gases
(GHGs). Yet, global estimates of reservoir carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) …

Inland aquatic systems, such as reservoirs, contribute substantially to global methane (CH4)
emissions; yet are among the most uncertain components of the total CH4 budget …

Small waterbodies have potentially high greenhouse gas emissions relative to their small
footprint on the landscape, although there is high uncertainty in model estimates. Scaling …

Agricultural ponds have some of the highest methane emissions per area among freshwater
systems, and these anthropogenic emissions should be included in national greenhouse …
