Short summary
We studied greenhouse gas emissions from a large reservoir in Laos over 14 years to understand carbon cycling and changes over time. Methane release through bubbling remained high, while other pathways, like diffusion and degassing, declined. These findings show how emissions evolve as reservoirs age and highlight the value of long-term studies for understanding the climate impact of hydropower.
