River networks represent the largest biogeochemical nexus between the continents, ocean
and atmosphere. Our current understanding of the role of rivers in 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 …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Chapter 2, building on prior assessments, provides a global assessment of the observed
impacts and projected risks of climate change to terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems …

While soil erosion drives land degradation, the impact of erosion on soil microbial
communities and multiple soil functions remains unclear. This hinders our ability to assess …

The increased use of hydropower is currently driving the greatest surge in global dam
construction since the mid-20th century, meaning that most major rivers on Earth are now …

Coastal tidal wetlands produce and accumulate significant amounts of organic carbon (C)
that help to mitigate climate change. However, previous data limitations have prevented a …

Two major environmental challenges of our time are responding to climate change and
reversing biodiversity decline. Interventions that simultaneously tackle both challenges are …

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 …

In this Perspective, we put forward an integrative framework to improve estimates of land-
atmosphere carbon exchange based on the accumulation of carbon in the landscape as …
