Code to estimate global lake and reservoir CO2 emissions by calcification

Abstract

R code used in the study: Khan H., Marcé R., Laas A., Obrador B. The relevance of pelagic calcification in the global carbon budget of lakes and reservoirs. Limnetica. The code was used for assessing the effect of calcite precipitation on pCO2. The outputs of this model were then used with the global distribution of lakes per alkalinity level (data from Marcé et al. 2015. Nature Geoscience) for upscaling the CO2 emitted by calcification at a global level.
