Diel variation in <span> CO <sub>2</sub> </span> flux is substantial in many lakes Open
Lakes play a significant role in the global carbon cycle, acting as sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). In situ measurements of CO 2 flux (FCO 2 ) from lakes have generally been collected during daylight, despite indications of si…
