Quantifying the role that freshwater ecosystems play in the global carbon cycle requires accurate measurement and scaling of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal in river …
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its importance in freshwater ecosystems, but historical reliance on DOM quantity rather than indicators of DOM composition has led to …
Accumulation of plastic litter is accelerating worldwide. Rivers are a source of microplastic (ie, particles< 5 mm) to oceans, but few measurements of microplastic retention in rivers …
Rivers are a major source of microplastic particles (< 5 mm) to oceans, but empirical measurements of microplastic movement in freshwater ecosystems are rare. The hard …
Ecosystem metabolism, that is, gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER), controls organic carbon (OC) cycling in stream and river networks and is expected to …
We present a comprehensive data set of gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in open‐canopy, nutrient‐rich streams draining row‐crop agriculture in the …
The fraction of gross primary production (GPP) that is immediately respired by autotrophs and their closely associated heterotrophs (ARf) is unknown. This value is necessary to …
Riverine exports of silicon (Si) influence global carbon cycling through the growth of marine diatoms, which account for∼ 25% of global primary production. Climate change will likely …

Whole-ecosystem metabolism is an important indicator of the role of organic matter, C cycling, and trophic structure in rivers. Ecosystem metabolism is well studied in small …
