Water residence time controls iron-organic carbon interactions in waters draining a sub-Arctic fen
Does iron (Fe) act to stabilise (e.g., via attachment to ferrihydrite) or degrade (e.g., via photo-degradation) organic carbon (OC) in Arctic Rivers? Characterising the interaction between Fe and OC in headwaters, prior to transport along the continuum, is key to answering this question. Here we ask...
