Table 1. Data sources of carbon export by world catchments. Victoria (Australia) data come from www.vicwaterdata.net/vicwaterdata, whereas PARTNERS data are gathered from ecosystems.mbl.edu/partners. The year of analysis is only reported when available in the original studies. All data are reported as kg C km-2 y-1. TOC: total organic carbon, POC: particulate organic carbon, DOC: dissolved organic carbon.
