Variability of carbon stored in inland freshwater wetland in Northeast India.

Inland freshwater wetland ecosystems are among the largest sink of carbon (C) in the biosphere. However, improved scientific understanding of the C stability and sequestration potential is required to predict response of C pool under environmental change and to identify priorities for lacustrine C sink management. This study analyses the concentration of organic C fractions based on their stability and estimates C stock along with depth and eco-zones of the Rudrasagar lake in Northeast India.
