There is considerable debate on the role of hydroelectric reservoirs for the emission of CO 2 and other greenhouse gases. To quantify CO 2 emissions from a newly created reservoir that was formed by flooding the boreal landscape we developed a daily time-step reservoir model by integrating a terrest...
