The notion that inland waters are passive participants in biogeochemical cycling, with lakes as recipients and rivers as pipes, has long been overturned. More and more research suggests the global importance of inland waters in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange. EGU25 had a remarkable line-up of talks and posters on inland water …[Read More]
