Your company slogan Sources and emission of greenhouse gases in Danube Delta lakes Environ Sci Pollut Res (2009) Abstract Production of methane and carbon dioxide as well as methane concentrations in surface waters and emissions to the atmosphere were investigated in two flow-through lake complexes (Uzlina–Isac and Puiu–Rosu–Rosulet) in the Danube Delta during post-flood conditions in May and low water level in September 2006. Generally, greenhouse gas emissions peaked in the lake complex adjacent to the Danube River in May due to strong winds and decreased with increasing hydrological distance from the Danube River. Intense remineralisation of organicmatter in the Danube Delta lakes results in a net source of atmospheric greenhouse gases.

Compared to other deltas in the world, the Danube Delta is ‘relatively’ unaffected by anthropogenic input (Oosterberg and Bogdan 2000). Transition towards hypertrophy has affected biodiversity and productivity of most aquatic and wetland systems in the Danube Delta. Compared to the early 1960s, the loads of inorganic N and P of the River Danube increased five and threefold, respectively. 1、Background, aim and scope All Danube Delta lakes (DDL) sampled in this study (Fig. 1) are eutrophic in respect to N and P concentrations (Oosterberg and Bogdan 2000). In this short paper, we overview the investigations on the greenhouse gases CO2 and CH4. 2.1 Study sites Water samples were retrieved using a Niskin bottle from three depths (~0.5-m depth, ~1.5- to 3-m depth and ~0.5 m above sediment). 2.2 Sampling and analyses Pore water samples were collected at 1-cm intervals from the top sediment to ~
