“…However, GHG concentrations are extremely variable, both spatially and temporally in these small surface waters (Deemer et al., 2016; Downing, 2010; Holgerson & Raymond, 2016; Jensen et al., 2022), with some sites acting as net GHG sinks (Webb, Hayes, et al., 2019; Webb, Leavitt, et al., 2019). Measurements of all three major GHGs (CO 2 , CH 4 , and nitrous oxide (N 2 O)) are providing insights into spatial and temporal patterns of GHG flux (Huttunen et al., 2002; Jensen et al., 2022; Liikanen et al., 2006; Whitfield et al., 2011), but it is not currently known whether different water body types (natural vs. artificially constructed) respond similarly to underlying mechanisms controlling gas fluxes. These uncertainties lead to questions of the accuracy of regional upscaling models and estimates of the importance of small surface waters in calculations of net global warming potential of inland waters (Webb, Hayes, et al., 2019; Webb, Leavitt, et al., 2019).…”
