THE ROLE OF SMALL AQUATIC SYSTEMS IN CARBON SEQUESTRATION – Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne

Summary

Small lakes and ponds are often omitted from global carbon budgets yet recent evidence has shown they represent a disproportionately active component of the freshwater carbon cycle that combined with their overall extent means they are likely to play a significant global role in the sequestration of organic carbon.

The project will continue our group’s work on characterising carbon mass ...
