[HTML][HTML] A plastic world: A review of microplastic pollution in the freshwaters of the Earth's poles
F Citterich, AL Giudice, M Azzaro - Science of The Total Environment, 2023 - Elsevier
Microplastic (MP) pollution is of great environmental concern. MPs have been found all over
the Earth, including in the poles, which is indicative for the important threat they constitute …

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 …

Increasing dominance of terrigenous organic matter in circumpolar freshwaters due to permafrost thaw
Climate change and permafrost thaw are unlocking the vast storage of organic carbon held
in northern frozen soils. Here, we evaluated the effects of thawing ice‐rich permafrost on …

Classifying mixing regimes in ponds and shallow lakes
Lakes are classified by thermal mixing regimes, with shallow waterbodies historically
categorized as continuously mixing systems. Yet, recent studies demonstrate extended …

Photochemical alteration of organic carbon draining permafrost soils shifts microbial metabolic pathways and stimulates respiration
In sunlit waters, photochemical alteration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) impacts the
microbial respiration of DOC to CO2. This coupled photochemical and biological …
