Carbon cycling from a catchment perspective: an integrated approach to terrestrial-aquatic linkages in the Tana River basin, Kenya. KU Leuven
Rivers play an important role in the global carbon (C) cycle. They do not merely transport C from the terrestrial biome to the oceanic environment, but also bury and process organic matter, and thereby generally actas a source of CO2 to the atmosphere. This study focuses on riverine C cycling in Tana River Basin, Kenya, the longest river in Kenya (~1100 km), with a total catchment area of ~96,000 km². Data were collected during three basin-wide ...
