Photosynthesis, growth, and distribution of plants in lowland streams-A synthesis and new data analyses of 40 years research

Kaj Sand-Jensen et al.

Summary: This paper synthesizes insights and offers new quantitative analyses of data gathered during 40 years of stream research in Denmark. The study finds that the CO2 concentrations in Danish streams have high variability but are generally high, supporting a range of wetland and permanently submerged species. Different plant types show varying rates of photosynthesis and growth depending on CO2 concentrations, with terrestrial and amphibious species being more dependent on high CO2 levels. The abundance of plant species is influenced by the diverse ecological conditions in the streams.

Macrophytes enhance reach-scale metabolism on a daily, seasonal and annual basis in agricultural lowland streams

Anette Baisner Alnoee et al.

Summary: The study found that in temperate streams with significant macrophyte abundance, macrophytes have a significant impact on annual gross primary production and ecosystem respiration, especially during the summer when biomass is highest. Macrophyte abundance and chlorophyll-a concentration account for 80% and 63% of the variation in annual gross primary production and ecosystem respiration in the macrophyte reach, respectively.

Lake Morphometry and River Network Controls on Evasion of Terrestrially Sourced Headwater CO2

C. B. Brinkerhoff et al.

Summary: Lakes are key components of the inland water system and play a significant role in the degassing of soil CO2. The ability of lakes to evade CO2 is influenced by factors such as size and residence time, which in turn affect downstream CO2 transport.

Global carbon dioxide efflux from rivers enhanced by high nocturnal emissions

Lluis Gomez-Gener et al.

Summary: The amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere from rivers is estimated to be four times higher than the total carbon flux to the oceans, with nocturnal emissions being 27% higher on average. This nocturnal increase is primarily attributed to daytime photosynthesis fixing CO2. Current estimates are significantly underestimated due to reliance on daytime measurements, and not accounting for the difference in emissions between day and night can lead to a further underestimation.
