Carbon fluxes across countries and regions from inland water sources
Inland water carbon flux
estimates for the present day showing contributions in Tg C yr-1
from 3 inland sources (Rivers, Lakes, and Estuaries) for 3 latitude bands and
6 continental regions. Stacked bars show breakdown by country for each region.
Data sources:
Hastie et al. (2018),

One terragram (TgC y⁻¹) is one million ton of carbon per year.
One terragram (TgC y⁻¹) is one million ton of carbon per year.
