The age of the Amazon's breath

Article Abstract:

Rivers are a vital link in the processes that remove CO2 from the atmosphere, where it could cause global warming and move it into long-term storage on land or in the oceans as they connect land and sea. The Amazon basin is a central player in the global carbon balance as it stores large amounts of carbon in biomass above ground and this carbon is being returned to the atmosphere by slash-and-burn agriculture.

Anthropogenically enhanced fluxes of water and carbon from the Mississippi River

Article Abstract:

Data set obtained form the Mississippi River is examined to show that the fluxes of water and carbon have increased tremendously due to anthropogenic factors. The results prove that an analysis of the changes in chemical weathering is very important to improve the biogeochemical budgets.
