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 ...

Tropical lake ecosystems in the Anthropocene: quantifying recent human impacts on biogeochemical cycling and biodiversity

Tropical freshwater lakes are critical natural systems of global importance, yet are scientifically under researched. Their catchments provide vital ecosystem services to some of Earth’s fastest growing and most vulnerable human populations, but the provision of fundamental ecological and life-supporting services is under threat due to ...
