When are we going to create a new category for scientific "authorship" that is "only provided a few data points to a massive global synthesis"? . These hundred+ author papers that get cited a ton should be listed in a different category. .

🚨New paper!🚨. We compared agricultural and forested streams near Kisangani and found that the Ag yielded much more carbon, due to both higher water yields and higher concentrations. Interestingly, the source of C (young forest veg 🍃) did not shift.

Streams draining agricultural land-use in Congo lowlands exhibited higher water and organic carbon yields The composition and inferred sources of organic carbon did not differ between forest and ...

Our boat just returned to Kinshasa after a month cruising down the Kasai River for the #TropSEDs project. It was a beautiful, tough, and successful journey that adds important wet season samples to our growing collection.
