TL;DR: In this article, the authors report regional variations in global inland water surface area, dissolved CO2 and gas transfer velocity, and obtain global CO2 evasion rates of 1.8(-0.25) and 0.52 Pg C yr(-1) from lakes and reservoirs, where the upper and lower limits are respectively the 5th and 95th confidence interval percentiles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spatially explicit, global typology of the so-called "water towers" at the 0.5° × 0. 5° resolution is proposed to identify critical regions where disproportionality of mountain runoff as compared to lowlands is maximum, and an Earth systems perspective is considered with incorporation of lowland climates, distinguishing four different types of water towers.

TL;DR: Wada et al. as discussed by the authors assesses global water stress at a finer temporal scale compared to conventional assessments, using simulations of monthly river discharge from the companion paper, which is confronted with global monthly water demand, defined as the volume of water required by users to satisfy their needs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the daily variability of river suspended sediment concentration (Cs) and related yield (Y) is studied at 60 global stations, ranging from the humid tropics to subarctic and arid regions, located in all types of relief.

TL;DR: The global impact of dams on the riverine fluxes and speciation of the limiting nutrient phosphorus (P) is quantified using a mechanistic modeling approach that accounts for the in-reservoir biogeochemical transformations of P.
