Thus the breath of rivers emits carbon dioxide

A cyclic breathing, which in some moments contains more carbon dioxide. That rivers emit CO₂ was known, but now a study published in Communications Earth & Environment, a journal of the Nature group, reveals not only the role of rivers in the carbon dioxide cycle, but the frequency with which this activity is recorded. Researchers from the Universities of Turin and Eastern Piedmont participated in the international project and their monitoring activities with a floating chamber for recording the carbon dioxide emitted by the river helped to ascertain that in running water systems the “breath of the river “follows a complex pattern, in which climatic, latitudinal, environmental and ecological factors interact.
