Small Andean ponds in Ecuador emit more carbon per area than larger water bodies, revealing a major gap in climate models.
Small, high-altitude ponds in Ecuador’s Andean páramo are releasing significant amounts of carbon dioxide and methane, a new University of North Carolina study finds.
Despite their size, these remote wetlands emit more carbon per area than larger nearby water bodies, challenging assumptions that only big lakes and rivers matter for climate change.
The research, led by Kriddie Whitmore, highlights a major gap in climate models, which have largely ignored small aquatic systems.
The findings suggest these overlooked ponds may play a disproportionate role in the global carbon cycle.
