Iron mineral dissolution releases iron and associated organic carbon during permafrost thaw


Iron minerals trap carbon in permafrost, preventing microbial degradation and release to the atmosphere as CO2, but the stability of this carbon as permafrost thaws is unclear.

Large loss of CO2 in winter observed across the northern permafrost region


Winter warming in the Arctic will increase the CO2 flux from soils. A pan-Arctic analysis shows a current loss of 1,662 TgC per year over the winter, exceeding estimated carbon uptake in the growing season; projections suggest a 17% increase under RCP 4.5 and a 41% increase under RCP 8.5 by 2100.Susan M.

Groundwater as a major source of dissolved organic matter to Arctic coastal waters


In this study, the authors show that water flowing through thawed soils below the tundra surface (supra-permafrost groundwater) can be a major source of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to Arctic coastal waters during the summer. This DOM contains leachates from old soil carbon stocks, including potential contributions from thawing permafrost.Craig T. Connolly

Reduced net methane emissions due to microbial methane oxidation in a warmer Arctic

Summer warming explains widespread but not uniform greening in the Arctic tundra biome


Satellites provide clear evidence of greening trends in the Arctic, but high-resolution pan-Arctic quantification of these trends is lacking. Here the authors analyse high-resolution Landsat data to show widespread greening in the Arctic, and find that greening trends are linked to summer warming overall but not always locally.Logan T.
