The role of terrestrially derived organic carbon in the coastal ocean: A changing paradigm and the priming effect (2011, background): “U nderstanding the alteration of materials flowing from rivers to the ocean has been an increasing area of research over the past few decade(s), and presently global community programs such as the International Geosphere Biosphere Program and its major project, Land Ocean Interaction in the Coastal ”
The changing carbon cycle of the coastal ocean (2013, background): “This does not necessarily lead to increased carbon fluxes to the coastal ocean, however, because much of the terrestrial material is re-deposited on land 73 or trapped in man-made reservoirs and agricultural impoundments 11 .”
Effects of dams on riverine biogeochemical cycling and ecology (2018, background): “(2005) estimated the accumulation of sediment in global reservoirs over the past 50 years as 100 billion metric tons (Syvitski et al. 2005).”
Understanding Earth’s eroding surface with 10Be (2011, background): “…flux are representative of long-term flux rates, but both assumptions have been repeatedly questioned (e.g. Kirchner et al., 2001; Trimble, 1977; Wilkinson, 2005), and various modeling approaches have been implemented (Syvitski et al., 2005) to overcome the limitations of sediment yield data.”
Dynamic interactions of life and its landscape: feedbacks at the interface of geomorphology and ecology (2010, background): “Although human-accelerated rates of soil erosion can be high for some of these agricultural parcels, it is certain that these areas are only of limited importance for global sediment delivery (Syvitski et al., 2005).”
Coupling between biota and earth materials in the critical zone (2007, background): “4 × 109 Mg y-1) because it accumulates in reservoirs created by dam construction (Syvitski et al. 2005).”
State of the world's freshwater ecosystems: physical, chemical, and biological changes. (2011, background): “Because they increase residence time, reservoirs substantially influence sediment as well as C, N, P, and silicon (Si) fluxes from continents to oceans (83, 91).”
