Impact of erosion on the CO2 balance

Caption

The circles represent the Lancang River, while diamonds represent small mountain streams. The colored symbols are calculated with runoff correction θsil =0 and θsulf,carb = −0.75 while the gray symbols are calculated without runoff correction. For most data points, the application of runoff correction does not change the qualitative determination of net CO2 source or sink status. The data for the whole Mekong River basin and other mountain rivers are reported in Bufe et al. (2024) and Relph et al. (2021).
