Abstract:West Siberia contains some of the largest soil carbon stores on Earth owing to vast areas of peatlands and permafrost, with the region warming far faster than the global average. Organic matter transported in fluvial systems is likely to undergo distinct compositional changes as peatlands and permafrost warm. However, the influence of peatlands and permafrost on future dissolved organic matter (DOM) composition is not well characterized. To better understand how these environmental drivers may impact DOM compo… Show more
