Hydrological and biogeochemical modelling of carbon fluxes in an Arctic river: the Yenisei (North of Russia)
Permafrost represents one of the biggest organic carbon stocks on Earth. Organic carbon is exported from rivers to oceans by the particulate (POC) and the dissolved (DOC) form. Carbon fluxes represent 22 to 32 teragrams of carbon per year (TgC.yr-1; 1 Tg = 1012 g) in the Arctic Ocean. This export is...

Permafrost represents one of the biggest organic carbon stocks on Earth. Organic carbon is exported from rivers to oceans by the particulate (POC) and the dissolved (DOC) form. Carbon fluxes represent 22 to 32 teragrams of carbon per year (TgC.yr-1; 1 Tg = 1012 g) in the Arctic Ocean. This export is a main concern in this time of global changes. With global warming, the superficial layer in permafrost could unfreeze deeper and exports of old organic carbon (accumulated for thousands of years) would be possible and could disturb recent carbon cycles. Based on some sporadic data, experts estimated an export of 7000 to 138 000 TgC from thawing permafrost could be possible by 2100, that is to say 500 to 1000 TgC.yr-1.
