Low-intensity fire-derived pyrogenic carbon decouples methane and carbon dioxide production in aerobic and hypoxic layers of permafrost peatlands

Wildfire frequency is increasing in high-latitude permafrost peatlands, leading to the input of pyrogenic carbon (PyC) into the active layer. The effect of PyC on the critical greenhouse gases CH 4 and CO 2 production in the active layer (aerobic and hypoxic) is poorly constraine...

Seasonal dynamics of aquatic organic carbon driven by floating-mat formation in a terrestrializing lake

Lakes are important components of the land carbon cycle, but how floating mats during lake terrestrialization reshape aquatic organic carbon remains unclear. Here we show, using seasonal field observations, carbon isotope tracing, and structural equation modelling, that floating...
