High‐Altitude Lakes Have Become Emerging Carbon Sinks on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Earth's Future
The lack of seasonal observations of CO2 in lakes at altitude gradients over the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (QTP) limits the accurate assessment of CO2 fluxes in lakes and the understanding of their variation mechanisms. We carried out seasonal observation of
