热带内陆水域排放的温室气体比想象的少29-79%,河流和湖泊的贡献很大,但比早期模型显示的要少。 Tropical inland waters emit 29–79% less greenhouse gas than thought, with rivers and lakes contributing significantly but less than earlier models showed.

由查尔斯·达尔文大学牵头的一项新的国际研究发现,热带内陆水域排放的温室气体比以前想象的少了29%至79%,河流约占46%,湖泊和水库等常设水域约占全球内陆水域排放量的8%。 A new international study led by Charles Darwin University finds tropical inland waters emit 29 to 79 percent less greenhouse gas than previously thought, with rivers contributing about 46 percent and standing waters like lakes and reservoirs accounting for roughly 8 percent of global inland water emissions. 根据亚马逊河流域和刚果盆地等不同热带区域的数据进行的研究显示,由于气候、地貌和人类活动,排放量差异很大,农业的养分和有机物投入增加。 The research, based on data from diverse tropical regions including the Amazon and Congo basins, shows emissions vary widely due to climate, landscape, and human activity, with agriculture increasing nutrient and organic matter inputs. 虽然热带水域仍然是温室气体的重要来源,但其实际影响低于先前的模型,而且由于人口增长和土地使用的变化,今后的排放量可能会增加。 While tropical waters remain significant sources of greenhouse gases, their actual impact is lower than earlier models indicated, and future emissions may rise due to population growth and land-use changes. 研究结果发表在《自然水》上,目的是改进气候建模,并为养护战略提供信息。 The findings, published in Nature Water, aim to improve climate modeling and inform conservation strategies.
