Permafrost carbon pool destabilization causes substantial fluvial export of soil carbon, yet the export patterns and magnitudes are not well understood. Here we investigated the radiocarbon (C-14) in dissolved organic and inorganic carbon (DOC and DIC, respectively) exported from a mid-sized river i...
