Schematic showing three C fluxes network (i.e. the upper for the best estimated one, the middle for the relatively active one and the lower for the relatively inactive one) in the meta-ecosystem of the Northern Highlands Lake District (NHLD), following Fig 7.

Abstract

<p>In the C fluxes network of “best estimated” scenario, we used the C fluxes with best estimated net accumulation and fluxes. In the C fluxes network of “relatively active” scenario, we used a set of C fluxes with relatively higher net accumulation and fluxes. In the C fluxes network of “relatively inactive” scenario, we used a set of C fluxes with relatively lower net accumulation and fluxes. In this C fluxes network, the atmosphere and downstream are exterior compartments.</p
