The land-to-ocean loops of the global carbon cycle
Carbon storage by the ocean and by the land is usually quantified separately, and does not
fully take into account the land-to-ocean transport of carbon through inland waters …

The global methane budget 2000–2017
Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH 4) budget is important for assessing
realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of …

Half of global methane emissions come from highly variable aquatic ecosystem sources
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 …

Coastal vegetation and estuaries are collectively a greenhouse gas sink
Coastal ecosystems release or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous
oxide (N2O), but the net effects of these ecosystems on the radiative balance remain …

Carbon fluxes in the coastal ocean: synthesis, boundary processes, and future trends
This review examines the current understanding of the global coastal ocean carbon cycle
and provides a new quantitative synthesis of air-sea CO2 exchange. This reanalysis yields …

OceanSODA-ETHZ: A global gridded data set of the surface ocean carbonate system for seasonal to decadal studies of ocean acidification
Ocean acidification has altered the ocean's carbonate chemistry profoundly since
preindustrial times, with potentially serious consequences for marine life. Yet, no long-term …

Anthropogenic perturbation of the carbon fluxes from land to ocean
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 …

Global riverine land-to-ocean carbon export constrained by observations and multi-model assessment
Rivers are a key component of the global carbon cycle. They receive vast quantities of
terrestrial carbon, of which a large fraction is ultimately exported to the coastal ocean. Our …
