Greenhouse gas emission from a eutrophic coastal lagoon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

ABSTRACT Greenhouse gases increased in concentrations over pre-industrial values by 257% for methane and 145% for carbon dioxide in 2016. Such increased levels are the main climate change drivers and may affect aquatic systems that accumulate and carry carbon to the ocean and the atmosphere. Additio...
