AB  - Waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs) are highly enriched environments that may emit 
      large quantities of greenhouse gases (GHG), including CO2, CH4 and N2O. However, 
      few studies provide detailed reports on these emissions. In the present study, we 
      investigated GHG emissions from WSPs in Western Australia and Quebec, Canada, and 
      compared emissions to WSPs from other climatic regions and to other types of 
      aquatic ecosystems. Surface water GHG concentrations were related to 
      phytoplankton biomass and nutrients. The CO2 was either emitted or absorbed by 
      WSPs, largely as a function of phytoplankton dynamics and strong stratification 
      in these shallow systems, whereas efflux of CH4 and N2O to the atmosphere was 
      always observed albeit with highly variable emission rates, dependent on 
      treatment phase and time of the day. The total global warming potential index 
      (GWP index, calculated as CO2 equivalent) of emitted GHG from WSPs in Western 
      Australia averaged 12.8 mmol m(-2) d(-1) (median), with CO2, CH4 and N2O 
      respectively contributing 0%, 96.7% and 3.3% of the total emissions, while in 
      Quebec WSPs this index was 194 mmol m(-2) d(-1), with a relative contribution of 
      93.8, 3.0 and 3.2% respectively. The CO2 fluxes from WSPs were of the same order 
      of magnitude as those reported in hydroelectric reservoirs and constructed 
      wetlands in tropical climates, whereas CH4 fluxes were considerably higher 
      compared to other aquatic ecosystems. N2O fluxes were in the same range of values 
      reported for WSPs in subtropical climate.
