Table 2. Discharge (km³ yr^-1), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration (mg-C L^-1), C/N (unitless) and DOC loads (GgC yr^-1) of three rivers draining the Tibetan Plateau.

Region	Rivers	Discharge of water	DOC	C/N	Flux of DOC
Third Pole	Yellow river	31.3	2.09	5.1	65.4
	Yangtze river	44.5	1.88	8.6	83.7
	Yarlung Tsangpo [34]	139.5	1.16	10.6	161.9

Note: Discharge data for the Yellow River and Yangtze River are from Lanzhou (sample 2 at Fig 1) and Shigu hydrologic station (sample 11 at Fig 1) and were adopted from the Bureau of Hydrology, Ministry of Water Resources, China.
