Fate of river‐transported carbon in china: implications for carbon cycling in coastal ecosystems

Rivers play an important role in carbon (C) exchange between terrestrial and oceanic water bodies and the atmosphere. The aim of this study was to systematically quantify fluxes in riverine C export and C exchange in the air–sea interface of marine ecosystems in China. Results show that annual C tra...
