Description: Rivers represent a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), with the three main gases emitted being carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O). To comprehend the spatio-temporal variability of these gases, it is essential to consider the regulating factors that influence their concentration. In larger rivers GHG concentrations are mostly regulated by in-river processes, particularly by the trophic state and the activity of phytoplankton. To identify control factors of GHG dynamics, we performed a monthly monitoring for the three GHGs at the river Elbe (Germany) over 5 years (2020-2024); together with chlorophyll concentrations and other basic water chemical variables.
