Linking organic carbon sedimentation, burial efficiency and long-term accumulation in boreal lakes KU Leuven
Carbon C storage in lakes is now recognized as a significant sink of C at a global scale, but the pathways that lead to this storage remain poorly understood. In this study, we attempt to reconstruct and connect the processes that lead to long-term C accumulation in boreal lakes. These include the rate of POC sedimentation in the water column and sediment metabolism operating at a temporal scale of weeks to months, organic C accumulation in the ...
