High-latitude environments store approximately half of the global organic carbon pool in peatlands, organic soils and permafrost, while large Arctic rivers convey an estimated 18–50 Tg C a −1 to the Arctic Ocean. Warming trends associated with climate change affect dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exp...
