Extreme rainstorms drive exceptional organic carbon export from forested humid-tropical rivers in Puerto Rico
Extreme rainfall in Puerto Rico leads to some of the highest particulate organic carbon yields. Here the authors find that global estimates of carbon export may be underestimated by up to 9% because of a lack of studies in the tropics.
