Substantial decrease in CO2 emissions from Chinese inland waters due to global change

Tom Ian Battin

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 longer time scales. Here, we present seasonal and annual fluxes of CO2 emissions ...
