A Boundless Carbon Cycle: Carbon Sequestration and Inland Water

It seems that there is yet another important carbon transport system whose importance has been overlooked.

A group of international scientists argue in their paper (NatureGeoscience: 09/2009) - The Boundless Carbon Cycle - that streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands (inland waters) play an important role in the carbon cycle that is unaccounted for in conventional carbon cycling models.

See what you think.
