Paper doi abstract bibtex Arctic regions contain large amounts of organic carbon (OC) trapped in soil and wetland permafrost. With climate warming, part of this OC is released to aquatic systems and degraded by microorganisms, thus resulting in positive feedback due to carbon (C) emission. In wetland areas, water bodies are spatially heterogenic and separated by landscape position and water residence time. This represents a hydrological continuum, from depressions, smaller water bodies and lakes to the receiving streams and rivers. Yet, the effect of this heterogeneity on the OC release from the soil and its processing in waters is largely unknown and not accounted for in C cycle models of Arctic regions. Here we investigated the dissolved OC (DOC) biodegradation of aquatic systems along a hydrological continuum located in two discontinuous permafrost sites: in western Siberia and northern Sweden. The biodegradable dissolved OC (BDOC15; % DOC lost relative to the initial DOC concentration after 15 days incubation at 20 °C) ranged from 0 to 20% for small water bodies located at the beginning of the continuum (soil solutions, small ponds, fen and lakes) and from 10 to 20% for streams and rivers. While the BDOC15 increased, the removal rate of DOC decreased along the hydrological continuum. The potential maximum CO2 production from DOC biodegradation was estimated to account for only a small part of in-situ CO2 emissions measured in peatland aquatic systems of northern Sweden and western Siberia. This suggests that other sources, such as sediment respiration and soil input, largely contribute to CO2 emissions from small surface waters of permafrost peatlands. Our results highlight the need to account for large heterogeneity of dissolved OC concentration and biodegradability in order to quantify C cycling in arctic water bodies susceptible to permafrost thaw.
