Climate-sensitive northern lakes and ponds are critical components of methane release
Lakes and ponds represent one of the largest natural sources of the greenhouse gas
methane. By surface area, almost half of these waters are located in the boreal region and …

A synthesis of carbon dioxide and methane dynamics during the ice‐covered period of northern lakes
The ice‐covered period on lakes in the northern hemisphere has often been neglected or
assumed to have less importance relative to the open water season. However, recent …

Reviews and syntheses: Effects of permafrost thaw on Arctic aquatic ecosystems
The Arctic is a water-rich region, with freshwater systems covering about 16% of the northern
permafrost landscape. Permafrost thaw creates new freshwater ecosystems, while at the …

Methane emissions proportional to permafrost carbon thawed in Arctic lakes since the 1950s
Permafrost thaw exposes previously frozen soil organic matter to microbial decomposition.
This process generates methane and carbon dioxide, and thereby fuels a positive feedback …
