Remote sensing approaches to measuring inland water quality date back nearly 50 years to
the beginning of the satellite era. Over this time span, hundreds of peer-reviewed …

A substantial amount of the atmospheric carbon taken up on land through photosynthesis
and chemical weathering is transported laterally along the aquatic continuum from upland …

The damming of rivers represents one of the most far-reaching human modifications of the
flows of water and associated matter from land to sea. Dam reservoirs are hotspots of …

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 …

In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

Natural lakes are thought to be globally important sources of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4,
and N2O) to the atmosphere although nearly no data have been previously reported from …

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 …

Productivity denotes the rate of biomass synthesis in ecosystems and is a fundamental
characteristic that frames ecosystem function and management. Limitation of productivity by …

Freshwater reservoirs are a known source of greenhouse gas (GHG) to the atmosphere, but
their quantitative significance is still only loosely constrained. Although part of this …

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in lakes are changing globally, but little is
known about potential ecosystem impacts. We evaluated the relationship between DOC and …
