ABSTRACT
Because freshwater covers such a small fraction of the Earth’s surface area, inland freshwater ecosystems (particularly lakes,
rivers, and reservoirs) have rarely been considered as potentially important quantitative components of the carbon cycle at
either global or regional scales. By taking published estimates of gas exchange, sediment accumulation, and carbon transport
for a variety of aquatic systems, we have constructed a budget for the role of inland water ecosystems in the global carbon
cycle. Our analysis conservatively estimates that inland waters annually receive, from a combination of background and anthropogenically
altered sources, on the order of 1.9 Pg C y−1 from the terrestrial landscape, of which about 0.2 is buried in aquatic sediments, at least 0.8 (possibly much more) is returned
to the atmosphere as gas exchange while the remaining 0.9 Pg y−1 is delivered to the oceans, roughly equally as inorganic and organic carbon. Thus, roughly twice as much C enters inland
aquatic systems from land as is exported from land to the sea. Over prolonged time net carbon fluxes in aquatic systems tend
to be greater per unit area than in much of the surrounding land. Although their area is small, these freshwater aquatic systems
can affect regional C balances. Further, the inclusion of inland, freshwater ecosystems provides useful insight about the
storage, oxidation and transport of terrestrial C, and may warrant a revision of how the modern net C sink on land is described. 相似文献
