ature Geoscience has just been published and features a bunch of great papers and opinion pieces about inland aquatic systems. We’ve taken the opportunity to put together a special focus collection on inland waters, their many contributions to ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, and the challenges they face due to climate change and human actions. High levels of…
