“…Erosion can also change the surface topography and thus modify the distribution of solar radiation across the landscape and change surface and subsurface hydrology (e.g., Liljedahl et al., 2016; Turetsky et al., 2020; van Huissteden, 2020). Further, eroded soil particulates and nutrients transported into the Arctic aquatic systems (i.e., rivers, lakes, deltas, oceans) can degrade water quality (e.g., Bilotta & Brazier, 2008; Droppo et al., 2021; Levenstein et al., 2020), harm aquatic ecosystems (Chin et al., 2016; Vucic et al., 2020), and change the partitioning of carbon stocks between terrestrial and aquatic systems (Fuchs et al., 2020; Li et al., 2021; Rowland et al., 2010). Despite the potential influence of these processes on the Arctic system, the relations between erosion‐rate and environmental conditions (e.g., climate, permafrost, vegetation, wildfires, hydrology) remain largely unquantified (Lane, 2012; Li et al., 2021; Pelletier et al., 2015; Rowland et al., 2010; Spencer & Lane, 2016), impeding predictions of the Arctic system's response to future changes.…”
