Short summary
We present the first large-scale assessment of the dissolved oxygen (DO) budget and δ18ODO across the Danube to distinguish DO sources and sinks, key for biogeochemical cycles. Two highly productive areas in the warm season showed large deviations (+12.1 ‰) from atmospheric equilibrium (+24.6 ‰ ± 0.4 ‰), unusual for large rivers. Critically low DO in the Sava (0.16 mmol/L) and lower Danube (0.2 mmol/L) in late summer resulted from intensified respiration.
