Abstract

Erosion of particulate organic carbon (POC) occurs at very high rates in mountain river catchments, yet the proportion derived recently from atmospheric CO 2 in the terrestrial biosphere (POC non‐fossil ) remains poorly constrained. Here we examine the transport of POC non‐fossil in mountain rivers ...
