RESUMO:

The study of greenhouse gases, in particular CO2, in inland waters has been fundamental to increase the contribution of these environments in the global carbon balance. In this regard, urban waters composed of rivers or streams have served as potential points of emission of greenhouse gases. Therefore, this work aimed to analyze the impact of urban streams on CO2 emission by diffusive flow at the water-atmosphere interface. In the first chapter, research was carried out in four urban streams, which flow into one of the main rivers of the Pantanal (Paraguay river). For this, we used a floating chamber on aquatic macrophytes and in an open water, considering the flow (emission and/or absorption of CO2). The collections were carried out in the wet season (February) and dry season (September) in the Pantanal. During the rainy season, the streams had between
5 and 40% of vegetation cover, while in the dry season it was 80 to 100%. The rainy season presented an emission about twice as high as in the dry season (5.180,64 ± 8.196,20 mg m-2 day-1 and 2.654,92 ± 7.190,64 mg m-2 day-1, respectively). Only in one of the analyzed streams, it was not possible to find absorption of CO2 by macrophytes, while the other three showed absorption by these plants. In the second chapter, the temporal dynamics of CO2 emission by diffusion flow at the water-atmosphere interface in an urban stream in the municipality of Cáceres, MT, Brazil, was studied, considering emissions in the open water and on aquatic macrophytes throughout a 24-hour cycle, for nine months (October 2021 to June 2022). The chamber was used in open water and on macrophytes of the genus Pontederia sp. It was observed that the macrophytes presented absorption and/or CO2 emission, while the open water presented only CO2 emission. Macrophytes can emit or absorb this gas depending on the time of day, with nocturnal only CO2 emission. Variations in CO2 flux were also different over the months studied. The impact of aquatic macrophytes on the balance of GHG  missions in urban streams should be considered, as well as highlighting the importance of these bodies of water for society. Aquatic macrophytes are important for CO2 reduction and can be better exploited for landscaping and as a source of atmospheric carbon reduction.
