Foliar biomass production and leaf-level herbivory responses to MAT and MAP were mainly responsible for the observed changes in insect-mediated element fluxes; we also observed minor effects of foliar phosphorus concentration on phosphorus fluxes. Local-scale trends were mixed and successional stage or soil substrate age did not appear to influence insect herbivore-mediated element fluxes.

Several negative DIC Δ<sup>14</sup>C values (−44.7‰ and −51.9‰) were observed near the Mackenzie River, indicating riverine permafrost carbon is actively incorporated into the nearshore DIC pool. “Bomb” DIC Δ<sup>14</sup>C values in the Kitikmeot Sea were attributed to enhanced tidal mixing and heterotrophy together with high regional water mass residence times. A comparison of historical DIC Δ<sup>14</sup>C depth profiles from 2009 to 2021 reveals significant dilution of “bomb” <sup>14</sup>C and minor contributions (2.1%–4.4%) of fossil anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> within Pacific Summer Water (PSW), Pacific Winter Water (PWW) and Atlantic Fram Strait Water (ATL<sub>FS</sub>) in the Beaufort Sea. Finally, the contrast between deep Beaufort Sea and Baffin Bay DIC δ<sup>13</sup>C and Δ<sup>14</sup>C values reveal differences in residence time and carbon sources in the two regions.</p>","PeriodicalId":12729,"journal":{"name":"Global Biogeochemical Cycles","volume":"39 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024GB008179","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143707360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
