Abstract: Inland waters collect organic matter from the surrounding land, some of which accumulates to form an important sediment reservoir for organic carbon. Research now shows that rising temperatures in the tropics increase the rate of mineralization and greenhouse gas production from tropical lake sediments by 2.4–4.5 times more than in sub-arctic lakes.
