"Not enough is understood about the role of alpine streams in the carbon cycle.
Swiss researchers have shown that mountain streams emit far greater levels of CO2 than previously thought. The finding suggests that the impact of alpine waterways on the environment may have been previously underestimated.
Despite making up just 5% of the surface area of all rivers around the world, mountain streams are now estimated to account for 10% to 30% of CO2 emissions from fluvial networks." ～ swissinfo.ch/mga
