The project studies the role of inland waterways in the global carbon cycle, focusing on how organic matter is buried and recycled in these ecosystems. It aims to understand the interactions between organic particles and microbial biofilms to clarify their impact on carbon dynamics.
Inland waterways are an important component of the global carbon cycle, receiving an annual carbon input of ~ 4.8 Pg of carbon per year.
Of this approximately 0.6 Pg is buried, entering the lithosphere, whilst 3.3 Pg is recycled through aquatic food webs.
These numbers highlight the global importance of streams, rivers lakes and other inland waters but provide little detail regarding the dynamics of organic matter burial and remineralisation. A poorly defined aspect is the relationship between o…
