Water-energy-carbon fluxes over terrestrial water surfaces in a warming world
Water-energy-carbon fluxes over terrestrial water surfaces in a warming world
Session ID#: 80851
Session Description:
Water surfaces occupy less than 5% of global continents. Yet, aquatic ecosystems represent the spectrum end of terrestrial ecosystems. Its invaluable ecosystem services for human beings and society are now facing the change with global warming. The unique features and dearth of knowledge in water-energy-carbon fluxes over water surfaces have appealed eddy covariance observations in rivers, lakes and coastal wetlands in the last decade. Recent studies report that surface fluxes are much more complicated over water bodies than previously thought. The synthesis study from the observations should foster insights into the water-energy-carbon nexus and help to rethink and/or reconstruct commonly used conventional approaches. The cross-cutting understandings should also benefit to sustain the aquatic ecosystem services in the warming world.
