Small lakes (0.5–1.0 ha) constitute about one third of the total number of lakes in the permafrost-bearing zone of WSL, yet their surface area does not exceed 2.9% of the total area of lakes in WSL. The latitudinal pattern of lake number and surface coverage follows the local topography and dominant landscape zones. The role of thermokarst lakes in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and most trace element storage in the territory of WSL is non-negligible compared to that of rivers. The annual lake storage across the WSL of DOC, Cd, Pb, Cr, and Al constitutes 16%, 34%, 37%, 57%, and 73%, respectively, of their annual delivery by WSL rivers to the Arctic Ocean from the same territory. However, given that the concentrations of DOC and metals in the smallest lakes (<0.5 ha) are much higher than those in the medium and large lakes, the contribution of small lakes to the overall carbon and metal budget may be comparable to, or greater than, their contribution to the water storage. As such, observations at high spatial resolution (<0.5 ha) are needed to constrain the reservoirs and the mobility of carbon and metals in aquatic systems. To upscale the DOC and metal storage in lakes of the whole subarctic, the remote sensing should be coupled with hydrochemical measurements in aquatic systems of boreal plains.]]> Wed 19 Dec 2018 14:12:33 KRAT ]]> Organic and organo-mineral colloids in discontinuous permafrost zone https://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000575401 Wed 10 May 2017 10:34:32 KRAT ]]> Permafrost coverage, watershed area and season control of dissolved carbon and major elements in western Siberian rivers https://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000518079 Wed 05 Dec 2018 10:15:21 KRAT ]]> Permafrost thaw and climate warming may decrease the CO2, carbon, and metal concentration in peat soil waters of the Western Siberia Lowland https://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000657607 300 to 40 cm), and permafrost coverage (sporadic, discontinuous and continuous). We analyzed CO2, CH4, dissolved carbon, and major and trace elements (TE) in 93 soil pit samples corresponding to several typical micro landscapes constituting the WSL territory (peat mounds, hollows, and permafrost subsidences and depressions).]]> Thu 13 Jun 2019 09:46:19 KRAT ]]> Seasonal dynamics of organic carbon and metals in thermokarst lakes from the discontinuous permafrost zone of western Siberia https://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000528604 summer>autumn>winter. The ice formation in October included several stages: first, surface layer freezing followed by crack (fissure) formation with unfrozen water from the deeper layers spreading over the ice surface. This water was subsequently frozen and formed layered ice rich in organic matter. As a result, the DOC and metal (Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Ba and Pb) concentrations were highest near the surface of the ice column (0 to 20 cm) and decreased by a factor of 2 towards the bottom. The main implications of discovered freeze-driven solute concentrations in thermokarst lake waters are enhanced colloidal coagulation and removal of dissolved organic matter and associated insoluble metals from the water column to the sediments. The measured distribution coefficients of a TE between amorphous organo-ferric coagulates and lake water (<0.45 μm) were similar to those reported earlier for Fe-rich colloids and low molecular weight (<1 kDa, or <1–2 nm) fractions of thermokarst lake waters, suggesting massive coprecipitation of TE with amorphous Fe oxyhydroxide stabilized by organic matter. Although the concentration of most elements was lowest in spring, this period of maximal water coverage of land created a significant reservoir of DOC and soluble metals in the water column that can be easily mobilized to the hydrological network. The highest DOC concentration observed in the smallest (<100m2) water bodies in spring suggests their strongly heterotrophic status and, therefore, a potentially elevated CO2 flux from the lake surface to the atmosphere.]]> Mon 10 Dec 2018 12:52:19 KRAT ]]> Thermokarst lake waters across the permafrost zones of western Siberia https://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000494611 Fri 14 Dec 2018 10:11:03 KRAT ]]> Thermokarst lakes of Western Siberia: a complex biogeochemical multidisciplinary approach https://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000494804 Fri 14 Dec 2018 09:43:00 KRAT ]]>
