Temporal variations in surface water CO2 concentration in a boreal humic lake based on high-frequency measurements (2009, background): “…that freshwater ecosystems are sites that mineralize allochthonous carbon compounds derived from the surrounding watershed, in addition to processing their own autochthonously produced organic carbon, is becoming widely accepted (e.g. Richey et al. 2002, Hanson et al. 2004, Salonen et al. 2005).”
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission: Observing Terrestrial Surface Water and Oceanic Submesoscale Eddies (2010, background): “Richey et al. [ 19 ], for instance, have suggested that evasion of CO2 from river surfaces may be of the same order of magnitude as terrestrial carbon fluxes.”
Elevated CO2 concentrations affect the elemental stoichiometry and species composition of an experimental phytoplankton community (2013, background): “primary production in the surrounding watershed (Cole & Caraco, 2001; Pacala et al., 2001; Richey et al., 2002).”
Stream metabolism and the open diel oxygen method: Principles, practice, and perspectives (2015, background): “The floating dome approach has known defects but is easy to use and inexpensive (see Richey et al. 2002; Vachon et al. 2010; Beaulieu et al. 2012).”
Globally significant changes in biological processes of the Amazon Basin: results of the Large‐scale Biosphere–Atmosphere Experiment (2004, background): “Evasion of CO2 from Amazonian rivers has been estimated at 0.5 Pg C yr 1 (Richey et al., 2002; equivalent to 1.8 Pg CO2 yr 1).”
CO2 evasion from a steep, high gradient stream network: importance of seasonal and diurnal variation in aquatic pCO2 and gas transfer (2016, background): “5 Pg C y(21), (Richey et al. 2002; Johnson et al. 2008)) and the arctic tundra (Kling et al.”
State of the world's freshwater ecosystems: physical, chemical, and biological changes. (2011, background): “In Amazonia, upland forests appear to be accreting organic C, but for the region as a whole, the C budget is roughly balanced owing to large CO2 emissions from wetlands and rivers (118).”
Expanding the concept of trophic state in aquatic ecosystems: It’s not just the autotrophs (2007, background): “This dominance of allochthonous sources allows total respiration to exceed gross primary production, an effect that has not only been demonstrated in streams (Mulholland et al., 2001), but also lakes (Cole et al., 2000; Pace and Prairie, 2005), estuaries (Cole et al., 1992), rivers (Kempe, 1982; Col”
