Sensitivity of the carbon cycle in the Arctic to climate change

AD McGuire, LG Anderson… - Ecological …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The recent warming in the Arctic is affecting a broad spectrum of physical, ecological, and

A perspective on underwater photosynthesis in submerged terrestrial wetland plants

TD Colmer, A Winkel, O Pedersen - AoB Plants, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Background and aims Wetland plants inhabit flood-prone areas and therefore can
experience episodes of complete submergence. Submergence impedes exchange of O2 …

Increases in terrestrially derived carbon stimulate organic carbon processing and CO2 emissions in boreal aquatic ecosystems

JF Lapierre, F Guillemette, M Berggren… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
The concentrations of terrestrially derived dissolved organic carbon have been increasing
throughout northern aquatic ecosystems in recent decades, but whether these shifts have an …

The absorption of light in lakes: negative impact of dissolved organic carbon on primary productivity

JE Thrane, DO Hessen, T Andersen - Ecosystems, 2014 - Springer
Colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) absorbs a substantial fraction of
photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in boreal lakes. However, few studies have …

Patterns and regulation of dissolved organic carbon: An analysis of 7,500 widely distributed lakes

S Sobek, LJ Tranvik, YT Prairie… - Limnology and …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a key parameter in lakes that can affect numerous
features, including microbial metabolism, light climate, acidity, and primary production. In an …

Significant fraction of CO2 emissions from boreal lakes derived from hydrologic inorganic carbon inputs

GA Weyhenmeyer, S Kosten, MB Wallin, LJ Tranvik… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Annual CO2 emissions from lakes and other inland waters into the atmosphere are
estimated to almost entirely compensate the total annual carbon uptake by oceans,,. CO2 …

Temperature independence of carbon dioxide supersaturation in global lakes

S Sobek, LJ Tranvik, JJ Cole - Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
A growing body of evidence suggests that most of the world's lakes are supersaturated with
CO2 and export significant amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere. Still, the temperature …

Role of lakes for organic carbon cycling in the boreal zone

G Algesten, S Sobek, AK Bergström… - Global change …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
We calculated the carbon loss (mineralization plus sedimentation) and net CO2 escape to
the atmosphere for 79 536 lakes and total running water in 21 major Scandinavian …

Differential support of lake food webs by three types of terrestrial organic carbon

JJ Cole, SR Carpenter, ML Pace… - Ecology …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Organic carbon inputs from outside of ecosystem boundaries potentially subsidize recipient
food webs. Four whole‐lake additions of dissolved inorganic 13C were made to reveal the …

Sediment respiration and lake trophic state are important predictors of large CO2 evasion from small boreal lakes

P Kortelainen, M Rantakari, JT Huttunen… - Global Change …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We show that sediment respiration is one of the key factors contributing to the high CO2
supersaturation in and evasion from Finnish lakes, and evidently also over large areas in the …
