| It has been speculated that the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)) in shelf waters may lag the rise in atmospheric CO2. Here, we show that this is the case across many shelf regions, implying a tendency for enhanced shelf uptake of atmospheric CO2. This result is based on analysis of long-term trends in the air-sea pCO(2) gradient (Delta pCO(2)) using a global surface ocean pCO(2) database spanning a period of up to 35 years. Using wintertime data only, we find that Delta pCO(2) increased in 653 of the 825 0.5 degrees cells for which a trend could be calculated, with 325 of these cells showing a significant increase in excess of + 0.5 mu atm yr(-1) (p < 0.05). Although noisier, the deseasonalized annual data suggest similar results. If this... |

| A substantial amount of the atmospheric carbon taken up on land through photosynthesis and chemical weathering is transported laterally along the aquatic continuum from upland terrestrial ecosystems to the ocean. So far, global carbon budget estimates have implicitly assumed that the transformation and lateral transport of carbon along this aquatic continuum has remained unchanged since pre-industrial times. A synthesis of published work reveals the magnitude of present-day lateral carbon fluxes from land to ocean, and the extent to which human activities have altered these fluxes. We show that anthropogenic perturbation may have increased the flux of carbon to inland waters by as much as 1.0 Pg C yr(-1) since pre-industrial times, mainly owing to enhanced... |
