Rivers carry substantial carbon flux from land to ocean

Original: The riverine land-to-ocean carbon flux

A Nature publication examines the riverine land-to-ocean carbon flux, the transfer of carbon from terrestrial ecosystems through rivers into the ocean. The research addresses how much carbon rivers transport globally and its role in the overall carbon budget. Such figures matter for climate modelling, since rivers were long an under-accounted pathway connecting land-based carbon storage with marine sinks.

Why now: New research quantifying a previously under-measured link in the global carbon cycle is drawing scientific attention.
