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 …

The purpose of this review is to highlight progress in unraveling carbon cycling dynamics
across the continuum of landscapes, inland waters, coastal oceans, and the atmosphere …

Collectively, reservoirs created by dams are thought to be an important source of
greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the atmosphere. So far, efforts to quantify, model, and manage …

Burial in sediments removes organic carbon (OC) from the short-term biosphere-atmosphere
carbon (C) cycle, and therefore prevents greenhouse gas production in natural systems …

Artificial water storage, originated by the construction of dams, is essential for the
sustainable health and welfare of civilizations since it supplies water for human …

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 …

Limnology, and in particular the study of the aquatic carbon cycle initially focused on lakes
as isolated ecosystems. Later on, investigations followed of lakes as recipients. Current …

Inland waters transport and transform substantial amounts of carbon and account for∼ 18%
of global methane emissions. Large reservoirs with higher areal methane release rates than …

Lakes play a large role in global atmospheric and landscape carbon (C) processes, but their
role may change as they become polluted with nutrients. Geographic regions rich in surface …

Global warming is accelerating and the world urgently needs a shift to clean and renewable
energy. Hydropower is currently the largest renewable source of electricity, but its …
