Wet season(oct/nov Apr) corresponding to summer, with 95% of annual rainfall(900 mm) 2. Dry season (May Sep/Oct), corresponding to winter, with 5% of annual rainfall(40 mm).

16 Concluding remarks Wetlands/floodplains have large influence on river biogeochemisty: Decreasing the ph and Dissolved Oxygen concentrations Increasing the Temperature and Evaporation IncreasingCO 2 andch 4,DOCandPOCconcentrations Highly productive ecosystems, wetlands are essential elements of carbon cycle, capable of shifting significantly the balance between Emissions, Storage and Transport components of carbon budgets. Further research (more quantitative data) are needed to better constrain the role ofwetlandsinboth regionaland globalcbudgets,which sofarhas been largely overlooked.

18 Introduction: Inland waters in global C cycle The global carbon cycle Major carbon reservoirs Atmosphere Biosphere Ocean Global C budget studies are mostly limited to the three major carbon reservoirs with little or no focus on inland waters

19 Introduction: Inland waters in global C cycle Historical perception Land 0.9 Pg C y -1 Inland waters Ocean 0.9 Pg C y -1 River are passive pipes transporting to oceans terrestrial carbon Research on inland waters suggest that: beside Transport Emitting Storing (Cole et al., Plumbing the global carbon cycle: integrating inland waters into the terrestrial carbon budget. Ecosystems 10, )

20 Introduction: Inland waters in global C cycle More recent research (Aufdenkampe et al., Rivers key to coupling biogeochemical cycles between land, oceans and atmosphere. Front. Ecol. Environ. 9, 53 60) based on Batin el al., 2009 Canadell& Raupach, 2008 Global NEP ~3.0 PgC yr (70%) Terrestrial (NEP = GPP + total ER) Freshwater systems function as biogeochemical hot spots

21 Overlooked importance of wetlands Flooded forests and floating macrophytes provide, through litterfall and submerged root respiration, a total of 305±120 Tg C yr -1 of atmospheric carbon to the waters. not significantly different from the CO 2 outgassing flux of 210±60 Tg C yr -1. Central Amazonian waters thus receive at least as much carbon from semi-aquatic plants as they emit to the atmosphere Three-quarters of the world s flooded land consists of temporary wetlands, but the contribution of these productive ecosystems to the inland water carbon budget has been largely overlooked.
