Abstract | The role of streams and rivers in the global carbon (C) cycle remains unconstrained, especially in headwater streams where CO₂ evasion (FCO₂) to the atmosphere is high. Stream C cycling is understudied in the tropics compared to temperate streams, and tropical streams may have among the highest FCO₂ due to higher temperatures, continuous organic matter inputs, and high respiration rates both in-stream and in surrounding soils. In this paper, we present paired in-stream O₂ and CO₂ sensor data from a headwater stream in a lowland rainforest in Costa Rica to explore temporal variability in gas concentrations and ecosystem processes. Further, we estimate groundwater CO₂ inputs (GWCO₂) from riparian well CO₂ measurements. Paired O₂–CO₂ data reveal stream CO₂ supersaturation driven by groundwater CO₂ inputs and large in-stream production of CO₂. At short time scales, CO₂ was diluted during storm events, but increased at longer seasonal scales. Areal fluxes in our study reach show that FCO₂ is supported by greater in-stream metabolism compared to GWCO₂. Our results underscore the importance of tropical headwater streams as large contributors of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and show evaded C can be derived from both in-stream and terrestrial sources. |
