摘要

The global river system acts as a gigantic transportation network for water and dissolved substances, but this pipeline is leaking carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at surprisingly high rates. On page 355 of this issue, Raymond et al. report that rivers emit about five times times more CO_2 to the atmosphere than all lakes and reservoirs put together. The authors' spatial analysis reveals a flux of this greenhouse gas that is larger than previously estimated and dominated by hotspot regions in the tropics. Only about half of anthropogenic CO_2 emissions accumulate in the atmosphere; their effects on climate are being mitigated by mechanisms that bring about uptake by the oceans and by terrestrial vegetation. To promote carbon sequestration on land, we need to know how and where these large amounts of carbon are removed from the atmosphere.
