“…In fluvial networks, CO 2 concentrations are typically most pronounced in headwaters (Butman & Raymond, 2011, Crawford et al, 2013Hutchins et al, 2019), owing to relatively strong hydrologic connectivity between streams and soils (Hope et al, 2004;Hotchkiss et al, 2015) and to CO 2 production within streams from processing of organic and mineral substrates (Drake et al, 2015;Zolkos et al, 2018). In regions with organicrich yedoma permafrost, for instance, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is relatively biolabile and readily oxidized by microbes following thaw, resulting in rapid aquatic CO 2 production (Drake et al, 2015(Drake et al, , 2018. In regions with more sediment-and mineral-rich permafrost, such as in ice-rich glaciated terrain, the chemical weathering of minerals exposed by thaw can consume or produce CO 2 in streams (Tank et al, 2012;Zolkos et al, 2018).…”
