Arctic tundra wetlands may be an important source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Arctic rivers and the Arctic Ocean under global warming. We investigated stable water isotopes and DOC concentration in wetlands, tributaries, and the mainstream at the lower reaches of the Indigirka River in nort...
